§619 — Title 7 Agriculture | U.S. Code

Summary

Taxes in this chapter must be collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue under the Secretary of the Treasury and the money paid into the United States Treasury. Rules and penalties that applied to taxes in section 600 of the Revenue Act of 1926 and section 626 of the Revenue Act of 1932 also apply here when they fit and do not conflict. The Secretary may allow payment delays of up to 180 days for as much as three-fourths of the tax on any return. The Secretary may also allow a full 180-day delay when taxes are paid each month based on the amount of the commodity marketed in the prior month. Subsection (c) was repealed on June 30, 1947. Under rules made by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and approved by the Secretary, people who must file returns may be told to file and pay the tax to the collector for the district where the processing happened or the liability arose. The Commissioner can require handlers of a taxed commodity to file returns, give sworn statements, or keep records to show who owes tax.
