Abstract:
Under chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States are subject to Federal excise tax, which is determined at the time the spirits are withdrawn from bond and which is paid by return, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. In addition, a credit may be taken against that tax for the portion of a distilled spirits product’s alcohol content derived from wine or flavors. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 19 and 26 require distilled spirits excise taxpayers to keep certain records in support of the information provided on their excise tax returns, including information on the distilled spirits removed from their premises and the products’ applicable tax rates, as well as records related to nontaxable removals, shortages, and losses. The required records are necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the data collected to ensure the appropriate amount of tax is paid, to verify claims for refunds or remission of tax, and to account for the transfer of certain distilled spirits excise taxes to the governments of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes associated with this information collection, and TTB is submitting it for extension purposes only. As for adjustments, due to changes in agency estimates resulting from continued growth in the number of small "craft" distilleries in the United States, TTB is increasing the estimated number of annual respondents to this collection, from 4,800 to 5,700. Of those 5,700 respondents, TTB estimates that 1,500 respond semi-monthly (25 times a year), which remains the same as previously reported, 3,600 respond quarterly (4 times a year), which is up from the 3,000 quarterly respondents previously reported, and 600 respond once annually, which is up from the 300 annual respondents previously reported. In turn, those changes in the estimated number of respondents increase the estimated number of total annual responses, from 49,800 to 52,500, and increase the estimated total annual burden, from 49,800 hours to 52,500. (The per-response burden of 1 hour remains the same as previously reported.)
