The Bureau of Internal Revenue: Its History, Activities and Organization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025325279)

"The Bureau of Internal Revenue; Its History, Activities and Organization" offers a comprehensive examination of the development and operational structure of the primary federal agency responsible for tax collection in the United States. Written by Laurence F. Schmeckebier, this volume provides a detailed historical narrative of the agency from its early beginnings through the significant changes brought about by the early 20th century.

The work delves into the various functions performed by the Bureau, exploring its administrative framework and the evolving legislative mandates that shaped its growth. Readers will find an in-depth analysis of the Bureau's activities, including the assessment and collection of internal taxes, the enforcement of revenue laws, and the organizational shifts required to handle the complexities of a growing national economy. By documenting the procedural and structural evolution of the office, Schmeckebier provides an essential resource for understanding the mechanics of American public administration and fiscal history. This study serves as a valuable record for scholars of government, law, and economic policy, illustrating how the American tax system was organized and managed during a pivotal era of bureaucratic expansion.
