The tax imposed by this chapter shall be payable by the person conveying the property upon the recording of each such deed, instrument or writing. Such tax shall be paid to the town clerk of the town in which the real property or any part thereof is situated. Such town clerk shall endorse upon the face of each such deed, instrument or writing a receipt for the amount of the tax so paid in (a) hand stamp or (b) meter impression of a machine approved for such use by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management in the following form:
“$ Conveyance Tax received.
....
Town Clerk of ....”.
Any deed, instrument or writing so endorsed shall thereafter be recorded by the town clerk. The record of such receipt shall be conclusive proof that the amount of tax stated thereon has been paid.
(1967, P.A. 693, S. 2; P.A. 82-472, S. 35, 183.)
History: P.A. 82-472 required secretary of office of policy and management rather than tax commissioner to approve machine.
Cited. 215 C. 197. Tax is assessed on consideration received by transferor, not on total consideration paid by buyer, and therefore commissioner could assess against land sellers a tax only on the consideration they received, which was the payment for the lots. 279 C. 465.
