HOW THE NEW STAMP TAXES
AFFECT NEARLY EVERYONE
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The art of Congress to increase the in
ternal revenue, and for other purpose*,
approved October 22. 1914, requires, among
other things, that Internal revenue stamps
shall be affixed to all promissory note*,
bills of lading, insurance policies, and nu
merous other instruments, papers and
documents made or Issued on or after
the first day of December, 1914. and to
every package of numerous articles of
every day use sold on or after said date.
These requirements will to some extent
affect directly nearly every citizen of the
1. nited States in his business transac
tions. There are doubtless a great many
who have not had an opportunity to in
form themselves of the provisions of this
act, with which they will be required to
comply. In response to an inquiry from
your reporter concerning the law I sub
mit the following condensed statement
of some of Its provisions, together with
some brief comments thereon, which may
be of interest and benefit to some of your
readers:
1 The necessary stamps can be pur
chased from the collector of internal rev
enue or postmasters.
2. The person using or affixing the
stamp Is required to concel same by writ
ing or stamping thereupon the Initials of
Ids name and the date of using or affix
ing the stamp.
3. The person making, signing or Issu
ing the Instrument, or for whose use or
benefit the same is made, signetd or is
sued. Is required to pay the tax by af
fixing the stamps on such instruments;
except that the tax on bills of lading and
like instruments evidencing express or
freight shipments is to be paid by the
shipper, who is required to affix the
necessary stamps after the making and
Issuing of the bill of lading or other like
Instrument to him by the carrier, and the
tax on telegraph and telephone messages
Is to be collected by the company from
the person paying for the mesage and by
the company paid to the internal revenue
collector.
4. The Instruments subject to the tax
sre not rendered invalid or inadmissible
In evidence In state courts by reason of a
railure to affix the necessary stamps—at
east, it does not have that effect when
he omission of the stamps was not with
ntent to evade the duty or defraud the
United States, as where the failure was
ly reason of accident, mistake, Inadver
a.nee or urgent necessity.
5. The act also provides that, "in all
■ases where the party has not affixed
o any Instrument the stamp required by
aw thereon at the time of issuing, selling
>r transferring the said bonds, deben
ures. or certificates of stock or of Indebt
edness, and he or they, or any party hav
ng an interest therein, shall be subse
luently desirous of affixing such stamp
o said instrument ,or, if said instrument
>e lost, to a copy thereof, he or they shall
ippear before the collector of Internal
evenue of the proper district, who shall,
lpon the payment of the price of the
>roper stamp required by law, and of a
>enalty of 110, and where the whole
imount of the tax donated by the stamp
equlred shall exceed |50, on payment
ilso of Interest, at the rate of 8 per cent,
>n said tax from the day on which such
itamp ought to have been affixed, affix
he proper stamp to such bond, debenture,
ertifleate of stock or of indebtedness or
■opy. and note upon the margin thereof
he date of his so doing, and the fact
hat such penalty has been paid; and the
:ame shall thereupon be deemed and held
o be as valid, to all intents and purposes,
s If stamped when made or issued." It
s further provided that If it shgll appear
o the satisfaction of the collector that
he stamp was not affixed by reason of
nlstake. inadvertence or urgent necessity.
,nd without any wilful design to defraud
he United States of the stamp, and the
nstrument Is presented to such collector
or stamping within 12 months from the
naklng or issuing of such Instrument,
.nd the stamp tax paid, such collector
nay remit the penalty and cause the in
trument to be stamped.
8. The act provides that it shall not
>e lawful to record or register any ln
trument, paper or document required by
aw to be stamped unless a stamp or
tamps of the proper amount shall have
>een affixed and cancelled in the man
ler prescribed by law.
A similar provision In former stamp tax
aws was held by most of the courts
vhere It was considered to apply only to
he recording of Instruments required by
’nited States statutes to be recorded
ind not. to apply to the recording or
eglsterlng of Instruments authorized or
equlred by state laws to be recorded or
egistered. and not to forbid or prohibit
state officer from recording such in
truments. It would seem that such con
tructJon of former laws would also ap
dy to the present law.
The supreme court of Alabama In pass
ng upon a like provision in a former act,
Hthout deciding whether or not It had
iny application to the recording of in
truments under state laws, held that It
lid not apply to or prohibit the record
ng in the probate office of an unstamped
nortgage. or affect such record as notice,
rhere the omission of the stamp was not
vith any Intent to defraud the United
Itates (such former act having required
stamp on mortgages.)
7. Failure to comply with the law is
nade a misdemeanor, and If the failure to
fflx the required stamps is with intent
o evade the duty or defraud the United
Itates, punishment by fine and Imprlson
nent. either or both. Is provided.
8. The said stamp taxes Imposed by this
ict shall not be levied or collected after
lecember 31. 1915, except that taxes ac
ruing on or before said date shall con
Inue to be collectible under the terms
if the act.
