Savings Stamps from your De-

liver them 10 your home.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-09

The sale of use" tax stamps for motor vehicles beginning tomorrow at all post offices, and revenue of- fees in Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, ana Waterbury, has been announced ny Collector of Internal Revenue Frank W. Kraemer.
 This new stamp will evidence payment of tax for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1914 and must be purchased on or before that date. The cost of this stamp is five dol" lars.
 The tax applies to all motor driv- en vehicles chiefly operating on the public highway, whether they are passenger or commercial. Therefore no tax is payable for motor driven farm equipment not operated or not built to be operated on public high- ways. Similarly motor driven ma chimes used on the premises Of factories are not subject to tax. No tax is payable on motor vehicles in storage but upon resumption Of operation of such vehicles stamp must be purchased for the remain der of the taxable year.
 As in past years this tax does not apply to vehicles owned by the United States, or any State, Terri- tory, or political subdivision. How ever cars operated for the govern- ment or political subdivision, but owned by employees must have a ''use' tax stamp.
 A recent canvass of motor ve- hicles for "use" stamps showed that numberous taxpayers failed to keep this tax stamp properly posted, MT. Kraemer stated. It is necessary that this stamp be affixed in a visible position so as to enable proper in- spection of the stamp at any time, preferable the lower right hand corner of the windshield.
 MT. Kraemer also suggested that upon purchase of motor vehicle stamp, a record be made as to the stamp number, date and place of purchase so as to insure proper credit if the stamp. in course of the year, is lost of stolen.
 Owners of boats using motor or sails, with an overal length of l6 feet or over must pay a use tax, which varies according to the size of the boat. No tax is levied on boats under 16 feet nor boats used
