To encourage the return of books and to help fund the replacement acquisition of new books, libraries began assessing a fee on late books. [1] For example, when the Aberdeen Free Library in Scotland opened in 1886, borrowers were fined a penny a week for every week a book was held longer than a fortnight.

A belated return, under §139(4), may be filed before the end of the assessment year. A revised return, under §139(5), may be filed for a normal or belated return by the end of the assessment year. An assessing officer may flag a defective return under §139(9). Defects must be rectified by the taxpayer within 15 days of notification.
Some fringe benefits (for example, accident and health plans, and group-term life insurance coverage up to $50,000) may be excluded from the employee's gross income and, therefore, are not subject to federal income tax in the United States. Some function as tax shelters (for example, flexible spending, 401(k), or 403(b) accounts).
An employee being asked to work overtime, working through breaks, or being asked to report early and/or leave late without pay is being subjected to wage theft.
