Since taxes are the lifeblood of the nations, it is but natural that measures shall be in placed so that all taxes shall be collected as it falls due. Therefore all treasurers are mandated by law to exercise that power in order that all taxes shall be collected. By provision of the law, there are penalties for treasurers who fail to collect. If he fail to execute within the time prescribed, he shall be liable for an administrative or judicial proceedings why you fail to act.
