INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR ABANDONED PROPERTY REPORT FORM APS 1
General Laws Chapter 200A as inserted by the Acts of 1950, Chapter 801, providing for the disposition of abandoned property became effective on August 18, 1950. Under the provisions thereof all persons, or the agents thereof, holding property within the purview of said chapter have the duty to report annually as of July first property held by them declared by Chapter 200A to be presumed abandoned. The report shall be made in duplicate and filed at the office of the Commissioner, Sales and Use Tax Bureau, 100 Cambridge Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02202, on or before September first of each year for the preced- ing July first, and shall give the name of the owner, his last known address and the amount, kind of property, and such other information as the Commissioner may require. For a list of the categories of property within the purview of Chapter 200A see 1 to 7 on the Abandoned Property Report Form APS 1.
As used in this Report: "Property" includes all tangible and intangible personal prop- erty; "Abandoned Property" property shall be presumed abandoned where there has been no valid claim or evidence of ownership within a period of fourteen years; "Claim" is a demand for payment or 'surrender of property from the holder of same, whose duty it is to pay or surrender the property to the legitimate claimant; "Commissioner" is the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation; "Department" is the Department of Corporations and Taxation; "Treasurer" is the Treasurer and Receiver-General; "Person" includes Corporations, Soci- eties, Associations and Partnerships, acting in any capacity whatsoever, and all Political Subdivisions of The Commonwealth.
If the property included in this report is tangible personal property, detailed informa- tion describing the same and the location thereof should be furnished to the Commissioner. This type of property should not be physically delivered to 100 Cambridge Street until instruc - tions respecting the same are given to the holder by the Commissioner.
The holder should retain permanently the owner-identification records concerning prop- erty turned over to the Commissioner unless the said records are delivered for safe-keeping to the Commissioner.
Within 30 days after making this report of abandoned property, the holder shall cause to be published a notice entitled "NOTICE OF CERTAIN UNCLAIMED PROPERTY HELD BY (name of holder)" once in a newspaper in the city or town of the situs of the property or, if there is no newspaper in such city or town, once in a newspaper published in the county of situs. All papers in which such notices shall be published shall be in the English language. The notice shall be in a form and publication approved by the Commissioner. Said notice shall contain the name and the city or town of last known residence of the presumed owner, a de- scription of the property, information concerning the intention of the holder to turn over such property to the Commissioner on or before November first and that the holder shall cease to be liable therefor. In the case of deposits and items of property with a value of under $25, there need not be advertisement or notification by name. A statement should appear in the advertisement of the items valued at $25 or over that there are so many items valued at less than $25 with an aggregate value of so many dollars and that the names of the owners of these items are on a list available for examination in the office of the holder. On the report to the Commonwealth the names, addresses and amounts of these items should be listed.
In the event the value of the property is over $25, the holder shall notify by ordinary mail, on a form approved by the Commissioner, the presumed owner at the last known address that the property is to be considered abandoned pursuant to law.
The following form for newspaper publication is approved by the Commissioner:
NOTICE OF CERTAIN UNCLAIMED PROPERTY HELD BY (name of holder)
Pursuant to G. L. Chap. 200A notice is given that the following described prop- erty of the following named presumed owners, whose last known residence was in
1
the city or town indicated, will be turned over to the Commissioner of Corpora - tions and Taxation on or before November first (except where extended by the Commissioner) and that thereupon the holder thereof shall cease to be liable therefor. (The names of said presumed owners to be listed alphabetically.)
The above described newspaper publication must be single column and in type not larger than six point set solid.
The Commissioner may waive the requirement for advertising if it appears that the cost would prove excessive as it relates to the value of the property involved or if he is satisfied that all efforts to locate the person or persons in whose name the property stands were to no effect over a period of not less than three years. Waivers may be obtained by writing to the Sales and Use Tax Bureau, P.O. Box 2061, Boston, Massachusetts 02106.
All property contained in the report and to be turned over to the Commissioner on or before November first shall be turned over to him without diminution for the reasonable ex- pense, provided for by the statute. The request for payment of reasonable expenses shall be prepared with full detail, supported by invoices from the newspaper publishers or others and shall be submitted to the Commissioner under the penalties of perjury. The amount of such expenses shall be certified by the Commissioner for payment as provided in Chapter 200A. Account for any discrepancy between remittance and report.
Failure to report property that should have been reported under Chapter 200A may sub- ject the holder to proceedings brought by the Commissioner in the Superior Court and a deter - mination by the said Court that the provisions of Section 7 have been violated may result in liability to a penalty of not more than five hundred dollars.
Where the Commissioner has extended the time for filing this report the requirements with respect to the turning over of the property and the filing of the published notice with the Commissioner shall be extended for an additional two months.
NOTE
