Remittance To Government
Most systems require that taxes withheld must be remitted within specified time limits, which time limits may vary with the total amount so held in trust. Remittance by electronic funds transfer is often required.
Penalties for failure to remit withheld taxes to the government can be severe. Some such penalties are increased for longer periods of nonremittance.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“Any man knows when he is justified, and all the wits in the world cannot enlighten him on that point. The murderer always knows that he is justly punished; but when a government takes the life of a man without the consent of his conscience, it is an audacious government, and is taking a step towards its own dissolution.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
