Abstract
Created semi-formally in 1949 when the Tax Commission separated into divisions rather than handling most functions as a unit. The division's purpose was to collect delinquent taxes and investigate suspected tax fraud or evasion. The agency was abolished in 2000, when it and the Customer Service Division combined to create the new Taxpayer Services Division.
