Returns made by fiduciaries and receivers  (b)  (1) Returns of decedents. If an individual is deceased, the return of such individual required under subsection (a) of this section shall be made by his executor, administrator, or other person charged with the property of such decedent. (2) Persons under a disability. If an individual is unable to make a return required under subsection (a) of this section, the return of such individual shall be made by a duly authorized agent, his committee, guardian, fiduciary or other person charged with the care of the person or property of such individual. The preceding sentence shall not apply in the case of a receiver appointed by authority of law in possession of only a part of the property of an individual. (3) Receivers, trustees and assignees for corporations. In a case where a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or assignee, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, by operation of law or otherwise, has possession of or holds title to all or substantially all the property or business of a corporation, whether or not such property or business is being operated, such receiver, trustee, or assignee shall make the return of income for such corporation in the same manner and form as corporations are required to make such returns. (4) Returns of estates and trusts. Returns of an estate or a trust shall be made by the fiduciary thereof. (5) Joint fiduciaries. Under such regulations as the Director may prescribe, a return made by one of two or more joint fiduciaries shall be sufficient compliance with the requirements of this section. A return made pursuant to this paragraph shall contain a statement that the fiduciary has sufficient knowledge of the affairs of the person for whom the return is made to enable him to make the return, and that the return is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, true and correct. (6) Liability of fiduciaries. Every executor, administrator, attorney in fact or assignee or other person, who knowingly pays any debt due by the person or estate for whom or for which he acts before he satisfies and pays the government of the Virgin Islands the tax imposed by the internal revenue laws of the Virgin Islands, due by such person or estate, shall become answerable personally and with his estate for such due taxes, or for so much thereof as may remain due and unpaid.
