f) Effective January 1, 1988, the tax rate shall be $15 for each motor vehicle acquired in the following transactions:

1) When the transfer is a gift to a beneficiary in the administration of an estate, which, effective May 13, 2022, includes, but is not limited to, the administration of an inter vivos trust that became irrevocable upon the death of a grantor, and the beneficiary is not a surviving spouse;

2) When a motor vehicle which has once been subjected to the Illinois retailers' occupation tax or use tax is transferred in connection with the organization, reorganization, dissolution or partial liquidation of an incorporated or unincorporated business wherein the beneficial ownership is not changed;

3) When the transferee or purchaser is the spouse, mother, father, brother, sister or child of the transferor. Section 3-1001 of the Illinois Vehicle Title & Registration Law. When the transfer is from one spouse to the other spouse in a dissolution of marriage proceeding the transfer is considered a transfer between spouses for purposes of this subsection. The transfer must be made no later than 90 days after the date of a final, non-appealable order of dissolution of marriage.

g) A claim that a transaction is taxable under subsection (f)(3) of this Section must be supported by a certification of family relationship. The certificate must be executed by the transferee and submitted at the time of filing the return. The certification must include the transferor's name and address, the transferee's name and address and a statement that describes the family relationship between them. In the case of a dissolution of marriage, the transferee spouse shall also certify that the order of dissolution of marriage is final and shall provide a copy of the order of dissolution of marriage.

h) For a transaction in which a motorcycle, motor driven cycle or motorized pedalcycle is acquired the tax rate shall be $25. Section 3-1001 of the Illinois Vehicle Title & Registration Law [625 ILCS 5].

i) For a transaction in which an all-terrain vehicle is acquired, the tax rate shall be $25.

j) For purposes of this Section, "selling price" means the consideration received for a motor vehicle subject to the tax imposed by this Section valued in money, whether received in money or otherwise, including cash, credits, service or property. In the case of gifts or transfers without reasonable consideration, "selling price" shall be deemed to be the fair market value as determined by the Department or the Department's vendor. In determining the fair market value, the Department or its vendor shall consider the year, make, model and Vehicle Identification Number.
