Internal Revenue Sejvlce reports for detail of collections by type
of tax; dally Treasury statement for budget receipts fron Internal
revemM thro\^ the fiscal year 1952, and the monthly statement of receipts and expenditures of the Govenment for receipts thereafter (for
explanation of reporting bases in these publications, see page II).
Certain detail by type of tax Is available only froa returns filed with
the Internal Kevenuo Service. The figures shown Include collections for
credit to special accounts for certain island possessions, as reported
by the Internal Revenue Service. Beginning with the fiscal year 1955,
they include the amomts of tax collected In Puerto Rico upon articles
of merchandise of Puerto Rlcan manufacture ccning Into the United
Statee. Figures for 1954 have been revised to the same basis. Figures
for previous years include only amounts collected at ports of entry
into the Italted States.
1/ Differences between the smoints of internal revenue reported by the
Internal Revenue Service as collectiona for given periods and the amomta
reported in Treasury stateonents as budget receipts for the ssae periods
arose because of differences in the time when payments were included In
the respective reporte. Tax payments are included In budget receipts
when they are reported as credits to the accouit of the Treasurer of the
united States. Prior to July 1954, they were Included in Internal Revenue
Service collection reports after the returns to which they applied had been
received in internal revenue offices. Tjkider procedure begun in 1950 with
withheld incdoe tax and old-age insurance taxes and later extended to
railroad retironent taxes and many excises, these taxes are paid currently
into Treaaury depositaries and the depositary receipts, as evidence of
such payments, are attached to quarterly returns to the Internal Revenue
Service. 'Jhder this procod'ire, the payoente are Included In budget

j

recelpta In the month In which the depositary receipts are Issued to
the taxpayers. Revised accounting procedures effective July 1, 195^,
extended the same practice to Internal Pevenw Service collection
reports.
2/ Monthly and fiscal year I956 figures inclule old-age insurance tax on
self -employment IncoEe, which Is levied and collected as part of the
individual income tax beginning with the taxable year 1951. Previous
fiscal year figurea exclude this tax, on the baais of estimates beginning 1952 (see footnote 3), and It la Inclined vt^er "Old-age
Insurance taxea."
Withheld Incooe tax and old-age insurance taxes on employers and employees are paid into the Treaaury in ccmbined amounts beginning
Januax7 1951. In Internal Revenue Service imports, current collections have not been separated as to type of tax but the breakdown
shown for fiscal years beglnnli^ 1951 is biwed on estimates made in
acconlance with provisions of Sec. 109 (a)(2) of the Social Security
Act Amendments of 1950, for transfer of tax recelpta to the Federal
Old -Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund.
4/ Beginning with the fiscal year 1955, collections shown include undistributed depositary receipts and unclasBlfled advance payments.
For excise taxes these receipts are included in the total only.
Total collections Include "Taxes not otherwise classified/' irtilch
were Included with miscellaneous excise taxes prior to the August
1956 issue of the Bulletin.
(See Table 2).
Repealed for years ending after June 30, I9U5. Beginning 1951,
