To Qualified Withheld Tax Depositary Banks:
The Secretary of the Treasury on July 15 approved the following which,
in effect, amends the regulations with respect to the use of Government deposi­
taries in connection with payment of withheld taxes:
"Employer is permitted to deposit taxes withheld by purchase of
depositary receipt on or before the fifteenth day following the
close of the month. It is provided, however, that for taxes
withheld during the third month of a calendar quarter, the
employer may either include with his return direct remittance
to the collector for the amount of taxes withheld during such
last month of the quarter or attach a receipt evidencing pay­
ment of the taxes withheld during such last month to a deposi­
tary on or before the last day of the month following the close
of the quarter.”
The effect of this change is that employers are allowed to deposit
taxes withheld on or before the fifteenth day following the close of each month
rather than the tenth day as heretofore required.

An employer may also include

taxes withheld during the third or last month of each quarter in the form of a
direct remittance with the quarterly return to the collector as at present, or
in the form of a withheld tax receipt obtained on or before the last day of the
month following the close of the quarter.

This is in contrast to the present

requirement that if a receipt rather than cash is used to pay taxes for a given
quarter, it must have been obtained within ten days after the last month of the
quarter•
