Show TAXES MAY BE IN THREE PAYMENTS Our state tax commission sent out a letter this week to all county county county coun coun- ty treasurers about the paying of taxes in not to exceed three payments payments payments pay pay- ments instead of all in one It seems Beems to be a method whereby taxpayers may settle in not more than three installments So far aa sa we understand it the principal advantage is that if unable to pay all aU before the final due date then as much as may be paid will decrease the burden including penalty penalty penalty pen pen- alty cost and interest FollowIng Following Follow Follow- ing lag Is the letter Salt Lake City Utah October 5 1931 To All County Treasurers As an aid in the collection of oft taxes t ces for the current year we suggest that you permit the ta taxpayers tax payers when desired to pay their taxes in not to exceed three partial partial partial par par- payments There is nothing in the law as we Interpret it which prevents this arrangement and we believe it will facilitate the payment payment payment pay pay- ment of taxes which otherwise might not be paid When taxes tates become delinquent and any portion remains unpaid you will of course advertise the unpaid balance as delinquent and Impose the interest penalties and costs upon such Luch unpaid balance i only and sell the for such balance clearing the property of the tax lien only when all taxes interests and costs are fully paid The payment p of taxes upon a partial partial par par- Ual payment basis does not post- post but it does give the tax payer who pone the fin final l date of settlement I cannot pay all of his taxes at one onetime onetime time tim a decided advantage over I the present practice in that it relieves relieves relieves re re- re- re him of the 3 penalty and the 12 annual interest charges on the amount of the taxes which he is unable to pay Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter and give publicity to Its contents in your local news news- paper Yours truly STATE TAX C COMMISSION E E.
