Within twenty (20) days after the end of the month, the county tax collector shall file a report showing the amount of motor vehicle ad valorem taxes collected by him for the previous month. This report shall be made in part in conjunction with and as a part of the monthly report made on the collection of road and bridge privilege taxes for the same period. The form for this portion of said report shall be prescribed by the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law in cooperation with the state tax commission.
This said report shall show, in addition to the information prescribed by the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law, the following information for each motor vehicle on which ad valorem taxes were paid: the code number of the vehicle as fixed by the assessment schedule, the assessed value of the vehicle, the situs of the vehicle as to school district, road district, levee district, municipality, the total tax rate applicable, ad valorem taxes, damages, if any, and the total ad valorem taxes and damages. These sheets shall be numbered in consecutive order, and shall be made in quadruplicate. The original copy of this report shall be placed in a suitable binder and retained by the county tax collector as a permanent record, the first and second copies shall be forwarded to the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law and commission of public safety respectively, as now provided by law, and the third copy shall be delivered to the chancery clerk.
When the above mentioned portion of the report has been completed, a recapitulation of it shall be made on a separate sheet, showing by classes the total number of road and bridge privilege licenses issued, the amount of money collected for the license plates, the total road and bridge privilege taxes collected by classes, and the total amount of ad valorem taxes collected designating the amount collected for each separate taxing area. This report shall also be made in quadruplicate. The tax collector shall retain the original as a permanent record, the first copy shall be forwarded to the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law, the second copy shall be forwarded to the tax commission, and the third copy shall be delivered to the chancery clerk.
Motor vehicle ad valorem tax collections shall be entered in the tax collector's cash book as reflected by the said recapitulation, showing by taxing area, the total assessed value and total such taxes collected each month for each separate taxing area, and it shall not be necessary that either the tax receipt number or the taxpayer's name be entered, as required by Section 27-41-39, Mississippi Code of 1972, for other ad valorem tax collections.
