Illinois Rules Renewable Natural Gas Equipment Not Exempt from Manufacturing Tax Exemption

  • The Illinois Department of Revenue ruled that equipment used to produce renewable natural gas from biogas is not exempt from Retailers’ Occupation Tax (ROT).
  • The company’s process of cleaning and refining landfill gas to pipeline-quality renewable natural gas is considered similar to the treatment of fossil natural gas.
  • Illinois law specifically excludes machinery used in the generation or treatment of gas for sale via pipelines from the manufacturing exemption.
  • Therefore, machinery and consumables used in this process do not qualify for the Illinois manufacturing exemption.
