<body>
<p>This rule proposes to amend 27 CFR 479.39 by clarifying that the Special (Occupational) Tax (SOT) is to be paid one time during the taxable year for each business taxable under 26 U.S.C. 5801 notwithstanding the number of licenses the persons holds under the GCA. A business taxable is one of three distinct types of taxable NFA business activity conducted by a person at a business premises importing, manufacturing, or dealing NFA firearms. The NFA regulations allow for engaging in more than one taxable business at the same business premises provided SOT is paid on each such business. 27 CFR 479.39.</p>
