EXPLAINS LAW ON DELINQUENTS Secretary of Taxpayers Organization Explains Delinquent Payments Indianapolis, Apr ’I (Special) —"Much confusion exists”, says a statement made by Harry Miesse, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers' Association, “relative to Indiana taxes that have gone delinquent or which may become delinquent if no part is paid on or belore the first Monday in May. In order to clarify the situation we are calling attention to the fact that an act of the special session of the Indiana General Assembly, 1 st summer, must be read in connection with an act of the recent regular session, as each concerns taxation and is of the utmost importance to the people of Indiana." The law approved at the special session. Mr. Miesse points out. provided that the taxes for 1931. pay able ordinarily in 1932, and the taxes for each year thereafter, would become payable at the office < of the various county treasurers on or before the first Monday In May and the first Monday in November of each succeeding year. This aw says: “If any installment of taxes shall not be paid when the same shall be due such installment shall be returned delinquent, and a penalty of 3 per cent on the amount of such installment shall be added thereto. In addition to the penalty of 3 per cent herein provided, interest at the rate of S per cent per annum on the amount ' of sueh installment from the date’ of such delinquency to the time oil payment, shall l.e charged and paid or collected with such delinquent | installment and penalty in the I manner provided by law for the oellectton of delinquent taxes; provided any taxpayer may’ at any time, pay any such installment in

two payments, the first of which shall not be less than one-half of the full amount of sueh inAtall- . ment. and the second payment shall be the entire balance, with < I the penalty and interest due on] such installment, if any; and if byi ■ reason of a partial payment of any | j i such installment of taxes, a balance only shall become delinquent.; | the penalty and interest herein pro-) ivitled shall be imposed only on I such delinquent, balance. ’• ' The act of 1933 states that if any II taxpayer has failed to pay his i .(taxes for the year 1931 or any year' ■ prior thereto, exce.pt poll taxes, ‘ • such taxes may be paid with a pen-j ally of 4 per cent, per annum,; "which interest shall be computed I upon such delinquent taxes from ; the date on which they became de-1 , | iinquent until the date of the No-I vetnber payment, 1933. and all such delinquent taxes together with , the interest thereon shall be added j together and the total of such de- ■ /linquent taxes and interest shall! be considered as the amount of de-1 linquent taxes owed by each such i taxpayer. All penalties thereon.; as now provided by law are hereby j expressly waived." Section 3 of I this new law provides that if any I 1 taxpayer shall have failed to pay I any installment of taxes assessed! against him for 1931 or any of the. years prior to that year, he may I I pay the first installment of his 1932 1 taxes, due on or before the first Monday in May, 1933, “anil any! taxes assessed against the property for the year 1932. upon which he desires to pay such taxes, shall not be deemed due and payable un- ; til the regular tax paying dates in the year 1933. and he shall have 1 the right and privilege of paying such taxes for the year 1932 in the same manner and at the .same time. , as though all delinquent taxes had ; been paid." The fourth section of this law provides that any taxpayer who i wishes to avail himself of the pro-' I visions of the act may pay the j whole of his delink!!-ney at anytime. or be may. at his option, pay whatever is due in twenty equal in-; stallnients, to be paid semi-annu-.

In other word,," Mr. Miesse ex-( 'plains, "whenever a taxpayer goes to the office of the treasurer of his; county he may arrange to take ten years to pay his delinquent taxes,! providing he pays the installment due on or before the first Monday; in May. If he has,no delinquency and cannot pay his May install-: • ment, such installment will become]
