Under 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 5703(b),
the Federal alcohol and tobacco excise tax is collected on the
basis of a return. Businesses, other than those in Puerto Rico,
report their Federal excise tax liability on those products on TTB
F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return. TTB uses the information provided on
the return form to establish the taxpayer's identity, the amount
and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made.
This information
collection is being revised in relation to a TTB temporary rule
that we are issuing in response to the Protecting Americans from
Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act; Division Q of Pub. Law 114–113).
This rulemaking implements section 332 of the PATH Act, which
amends the Internal Revenue Code to change Federal excise tax
return due dates and remove bond requirements for certain eligible
taxpayers. These statutory changes are effective January 1, 2017,
and as a result, TTB is requesting emergency approval of this
revised information collection.
