(over) T R E A S U R Y \ \ ^ 5 y / F ISC A L D E P A R T M E N T SE R V IC E W A S H IN G TO N F isc a l A s s is ta n t S e cr e ta r y February 24, 1953 T o Treasury Tax and Loan Depositaries, and Others Concerned: Treasury Bills, T a x Anticipation Series, dated October 8 , 1952, maturing March 18, 1953, are outstanding in the amount of $2,501,890,000. These Treasury bills are acceptable in payment of Federal income taxes due March 15, 1953, and were issued to enable taxpayers to invest their accumulated tax reserves in an interest-bearing security which will be received in payment of Federal income taxes. In order to facilitate the use of Treasury Bills, T a x Anticipation Series, by taxpayers in payment of their income taxes, the Treasury has authorized Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, as fiscal agents o f the United States, to accept such securities on or before the income tax instalment date, from or for account o f Federal taxpayers, and to issue receipts to Directors of Internal Revenue showing that such Treasury bills are held for the purpose o f applying the proceeds o f redemption to the payment of income taxes o f the taxpayer named in the receipts. T w o copies o f each receipt will be delivered to the taxpayer concerned, who will attach one copy to his income tax return filed with the Director of Internal Revenue. Directors of Internal Revenue have been instructed (Internal Revenue Mimeograph N o. 122, Coll. N o. 24, dated February 2, 1953) to accept tax returns to which are attached copies of receipts addressed to them by Federal Reserve Banks and Branches that Treasury bills due March 18, 1953 are being held for application of the proceeds of redemption to the payment of income taxes due on March 15, 1953, of the taxpayer named in the receipt. The continuing policy o f the Treasury is not to look with favor upon efforts by banks which are special deposi taries for Treasury tax and loan accounts to encourage their customers to sell to them their Treasury Bills, Tax Anticipation Series, maturing March 18, 1953, and to accept payment for the Treasury bills by a deposit credit in their checking accounts, or to present Treasury Savings notes for cash redemption, with the proceeds being deposited in their checking accounts, and to pay their taxes by checks drawn on the taxpayers’ accounts with the banks. Depositaries following this practice apparently do so in expectation that under arrangements which have been in effect for quarterly tax payments since March, 1951, they may obtain a deposit in their Treasury tax and loan accounts for an amount equal to the taxpayers’ checks (fo r checks over $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 in amount) drawn on their accounts with the banks, and in regular course they can present the Treasury bills to the Treasury for cash redemption at maturity. These practices by depositaries will increase the amount o f such bills or Savings notes presented for cash redemption in advance of the availability of Treasury receipts from the income tax instalment due on March 15, 1953, and will make it more difficult for the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System to handle the large income tax col lections during March in a manner that will maintain stability in the money market. Accordingly, the Treasury will follow the same procedure as was adopted in connection with the March 15, 1952 and June 15, 1952 income tax instalments. Depositaries having Treasury tax and loan accounts are advised that to the extent they present Treasury bills maturing March 18, 1953 for cash redemption for their own account, or if tax payers present their Treasury Savings notes for cash redemption, and use the proceeds of redemption through deposit with and withdrawal from depositaries by checks in payment o f their March 15, 1953 income taxes, an equal amount of income tax checks of $10,000 and over drawn on such banks in payment o f income taxes due March 15, 1953 will be withheld from deposit in their tax and loan accounts. However, if a depositary presenting Treasury Bills, T a x Anticipation Series, due March 18, 1953, for cash redemption for its own account, can certify that they were acquired by purchase prior to March 2, 1953, and were held continuously until date of maturity, or that they were acquired on and after March 2nd, and payment of the pur chase price was not credited in a customer’s deposit account on its books, such bills will not be included in arriving at the amount of income tax checks of $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 and over to be withheld from deposit in their tax and loan accounts.
