Enterprise Zone reporting allows for one report per identification number (business) per Enterprise Zone. If your business receives incentives for multiple projects in the same zone, you will have to report the aggregate information of all projects in one report for the entire Enterprise Zone.
If your business receives incentives for multiple projects in different zones, you must file one report per Enterprise Zone. Remember, if your business receives incentives for multiple projects in the same zone, you will have to report the aggregate information of all projects in one report for the entire Enterprise Zone.
Enterprise reporting allows for one report per identification number (business) per zone. Each business should have its own report per Enterprise Zone. If the same business operates in multiple zones, reports should be submitted per Enterprise Zone.
Enterprise Zone reporting allows for one report per zone. If you are the administrator of a zone with multiple businesses that receive incentives, you will have to file one report containing the information for all businesses in the entire zone. Businesses can be added to the zone report by using the “add business” link in your report as many times as necessary to include all businesses.
If you are the administrator of multiple zones, you must file one report per zone. PINs have been assigned that correspond to specific zones under your administration. You must use the corresponding PIN of each zone to effectively report your individual zones.
Zone administrators should not report incentives received by individuals for projects at residential properties. However, private residence owners that received these incentives should complete the applicable WebFile “Business Report” based on the type of zone in which they reside. These individuals can report “zero” for jobs created and retained and capital investment at the site.
No.
Current employees are not automatically retained employees. Rather, there must be some indication that the business was going to close or eliminate employees for the employees to be deemed retained.
If the contractor was exempt from paying Illinois use tax due to the project location in an Enterprise Zone, then the business should report this in the “sales tax exemption” section of the report.
Any business in your zone that receives incentives within the calendar year of the report would be considered a project (excluding residential homeowner projects for which data was not retained). Administrators should report, for all businesses with a project, the number of people employed in the past year, the jobs retained, and the amount invested for each project.
For the 2012 report, you may report a reasonable estimate. Please modify your procedures to monitor the itemized value of each exemption in future years.
You should report the amount spent on tax-exempt items during 2012. For projects certified in 2012, and ongoing in 2013, you will report the amounts spent in 2013 on next year’s report.
Work hours for all persons working at the project site, whether identified as employees, contractors or otherwise, should be included in your calculations and reporting for full-time equivalent jobs.
For jobs (current and prior years) – Your final calculation to full-time equivalents should equal the sum of all hours worked by all persons at the project site divided by 1,820 hours, as provided in the definition.
For retained jobs (current year) – Your final calculation to full-time equivalent retained jobs should equal the sum of all hours worked by all persons at the project site divided by 1,750 hours, as provided in the definition.
The developer/owner that received the tax incentives and property tax abatement is responsible for filing the report. The report should include job creation data for all persons working at the site, whether directly employed by the developer/owner receiving the incentives or employed by another party.
The business in which the materials are being used should file the “Business Report.”
Businesses should report the amount listed on the Schedule 1299-A. Our reporting system now indicates that partnerships and S-Corporations should report the amount reported on their business tax return.
Use the name of the business provided on the application.
Where the report asks for “Preparer Information,” it is asking for the person actually filling out the report. Where the report asks for “Contact Information,” it is asking for the zone administrator’s information.
If an error is made on a report that has already been submitted, you must submit a new report through the same method that you filed the original. All information for the report must be entered again in its entirety.
The report will expire after 90 days of inactivity. This means that as long as the report is being actively modified (changing information, adding businesses, etc.), the report will be retained. Just opening the saved report and looking at it does not count as actively modified. If 90 days elapses without any modifications to the report, it will be deleted.
