An Important Letter from Commissioner

T~wenty-third District, Allegheny. Pa: Sir
In reply to your letter of the 18th instant,
| would cay that, in order to give the inter-
nal revenue officers sufficient time to fill up
and issue all the special tax stamps applied
for, persons requiring such stamps
are, by regulation of this Office, al,
lowed the full calendar month within
which, if they may return on form IL
they can pay the special tax and receive
the stamps therefor, without being required
to pay fifty per cent additional under Sec
tion 3,176, r. S.
But special Taxpayers are mistaken who
suppose that under the above regulation
they can, by making their returns about

paying the special tax until the tax had
been assessed, returned to the collector, and
demand made for its payment; that is, un.
til about the first of July, without
liability under the internal revenue laws.
They, in that way, escape the SO per cent
and 5 per cent penalty und er. sec.
tons 3,176 and 3,185 R. s., but do not es-
cape liability to the penalty imposed by
section 3,239 r. S, and to fine and impris-

parties who make return at any time within
the calender mouth will not be ordered by
this Office to be prosecuted for carry.
ing on business prior to payment of the
special tax, provided they pay it before the
expiration Of the month but those who
carry on business beyond that period with
out having paid the special tax starap,,
conspicuously posted up in their places Of
business, should be reported to the United
