הַשּׁוֹקֵל עַל יְדֵי עָנִי, וְעַל יְדֵי שְׁכֵנוֹ, וְעַל יְדֵי בֶּן עִירוֹ, פָטוּר. וְאִם הִלְוָם חַיָּב. הָאַחִין וְהַשֻּׁתָּפִין שֶׁחַיָּבִין בַּקָּלְבּוֹן, פְּטוּרִין מִמַּעֲשֵׂר בְּהֵמָה. וּכְשֶׁחַיָּבִין בְּמַעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה, פְּטוּרִין מִן הַקָּלְבּוֹן. וְכַמָּה הוּא קָלְבּוֹן, מָעָה כֶּסֶף, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, חֵצִי:

If one gives the shekel for a poor man, for his neighbor, or for a man of his city, he is exempt (from the kolbon) [having given it to them as a gift.] If he lent it to them, he is liable. Brothers who are partners, [who divided (the inheritance) and then became partners], who are liable for the kolbon, [as any other two who gave a sela for their shekalim], are exempt from the beast-tithe. [They need not tithe all the beasts born to them all the days of their partnership, it being expounded (Bechoroth 56b) (Exodus 13:12): "…which shall be yours," and not that of partners, the verse being understood as referring to the tithe, though it speaks of the first-born.] And when they are liable for the beast-tithe [That is, when they did not divide, in which instance they are liable for the tithe, as expounded: I might think (that they are not liable for the tithe) even when they acquired it (the beast) as part of the estate (i.e., before division); it is, therefore, written: "shall be" — (there is liability) in any event], they are exempt from the kolbon. [For their father's property retains its status and it is as if the father gave the shekel for his sons or for his neighbors, in which instance he is exempt.] How much is a kolbon? A ma'ah of silver [one twenty-fourth of a sela, weighing sixteen se'oroth.] These are the words of R. Meir. The sages say: A half, [one forty-eighth of a sela, eight se'oroth. The halachah is in accordance with the sages.]

Tosefta Shekalim (Lieberman)

Guardians who have paid the shekel for infants - they are obliged to pay an agio. Whoever pays a shekel [piece] is obliged to pay an agio. [These are] words of R. Me'ir; but the sages say: Whoever pays a shekel [piece] is free of paying an agio. Whoever pays two denarii [as a shekel tax] is liable to an agio, Whoever has given a sela to [recieve as surplus] a shekel is liable to 2 agios, [These are] words of R. Me'ir; but the sages say: just one agio. How much is [the] agio? [Answer] A Silber-Ma'a, [this is] the 24th part of a Sela [these are the] words of R. Me'ir; but the [other] sages say: Half a Ma'a of four Issar. What happened to these agios? They came to the Shekel [These are the] words of R Me'ir. R El'azar says: [They were considered] a voluntary donation. R Shimon Schezori says: [They were used for the] gold plates for cladding of the temple. Ben Azzai says: The money changers took them as their wages.
