Excise
fails to
, By RICK BOYD
Collegian Staff Writer
Students who refuse to pay
.the federal excise tax on their
telephone bills will be forced
to pay the tax “by any action
necessary to protect the
revenue,” according to a
spokesman in the
Philadelphia office of the
Internal Revenue Service.
The 10 per cent tax, which
was added to phone bills in
April 1966, is viewed as a war
tax by opponents of the
Vietnam War and is. the ob
ject of a- nationwide
resistance campaign.
People resisting tax specify
why their phone payments
are lb per cent short of the
balance due. The phone
company notifies the IRS, but
phone service is not in
terrupted, and the tax is not
added to the next month’s bill.
In -a “short time, tax
resisters receive a form letter
from the phone company
saying: “Your payment did
not include the amount billed
for the Federal tax. The
telephone company acts only
as~an-agent for the Federal
Government in billing the tax
charges you have deducted
-and we are required to report
refusals to pay them.
“We shall also report to the
-Internal Revenue-Service-any
refusal to pay the Federal tax
on future bills. Therefore, if
you deduct such charges on
future bills, specify that they
are for. Federal tax.”

James C. Walck,' manager
of the State College office of
Bell of Pennsylvania, said,
this ■ “official form
letter” used by the. telephone
company.
Walck said some of the
people who have refused to
pay the tax have reported
their income or parent’s bank
accounts have been attached
to pay for the tax.
The tax resistance is
“substantial tfor'ah'area >the
size of State College,” Walck
said, but would not release
any figures.
The phone company notifies
the IRS because “it’s not the
one supplying the service who'
is liable for the tax,” an IRS
spokesman said. “The phone
company notifies us and their
liability to collect the tax
stops at_. that .point.. The
burden to collect falls on the
government.”
The IRS spokesman said,

He said the resistance is
“negligible”, across the
country. The Coalition for
Peace War Tax Resistance
Committee in State College
estimates the national figure
at around 100,000.
Collecting the tax from
employers, bank accounts, or
by attaching" personal
property is , the usual
procedure if the' resister
refuses to pay after being
billed by the IRS,” the
spokesman said. ”
“Six or eight months ago we
did seize a Volkswagon of -a
resister in the PhUadelphia
area,” the IRS public in-
formation man said. “Un
—fortunately it caused quite a '
stink in the newspapers and
the poor guy wound up paying ,
thirty dollars more because A
