Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 6302, TTB collects the firearms and ammunition excise tax imposed by 26 U.S.C. 4181 on the basis of a return that taxpayers file on a quarterly basis. Section 6302 also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations concerning the payment of taxes by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53, taxpayers who elect to begin or discontinue payment of firearms and ammunition excise taxes by EFT must furnish a written notice to TTB regarding such actions. TTB uses those notifications to anticipate and monitor firearms and ammunition excise tax payments to ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of the IRC.
