The Revenue Act of 1861 was on Import Tariff, Property Tax, and Income Tax and was enforced by,,,,,,,,, hang on

It did not provide for an enforcement mechanism. Consequently, the law generated little additional revenue. A second revenue bill, signed into law in 1862, proved to be more effective."

To pay the debts of the Revolutionary War, Congress levied excise taxes on distilled spirits, tobacco and snuff, refined sugar, carriages, property sold at auctions, and various legal documents. Even in the early days of the Republic, however, social purposes influenced what was taxed. For example, Pennsylvania imposed an excise tax on liquor sales partly "to restrain persons in low circumstances from an immoderate use thereof." Additional support for such a targeted tax came from property owners, who hoped thereby to keep their property tax rates low, providing an early example of the political tensions often underlying tax policy decisions.

The Revenue Act of 1862 (July 1, 1862, Ch. 119, 12 Stat. 432), was a bill passed by the United States Congress as an attempt to help fund the American Civil War. The act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on July 1, 1862. The act established the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a department in charge of the collection of taxes, as well as levied excise taxes on the majority of items consumed and traded in the United States. The act also introduced the United States’ first progressive tax with the intent of raising millions of dollars for the Union.

It was either all that or it was a tax on pole dancers.

Secrecy service.

Basically congress poorly enforced it on all the good stuff such as booze sweets n tobacco.....nothing has changed

Alcohol

Tax stamps.

around 1780 the federal governement implented excise and direct taxes since the states could not provide any funds to the federal government.

First line of Article 1, Section 8 of The U.S. Constitution said “The Congress shall have the power, to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”

and street whores.

They still don't tax street whores. The arrest and fine em. Eh, same thing I guess

Directly after the Revolution, assuming we're operating under the Articles of Confederation government, the states were levying their own taxes. The federal government didn't have the power to tax until the Constitution was ratified.

wht got part of it first but congress didnt personally enforce this act who did?
