Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires manufacturers of tobacco products, cigarette papers or tubes, or processed tobacco to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 40 require such manufacturers to keep daily records regarding raw materials received and products manufactured, removed, returned, consumed, transferred, destroyed, lost, or disclosed as shortages. Those regulations provide that manufacturers may use usual and customary commercial records to keep and maintain the required data, provided that TTB may readily ascertain the information. Also, manufacturers must maintain the required records for 3 years and make them available for TTB inspection upon request. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it provides accountability over the receipt, production, and disposition of taxable tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, and over processed tobacco that, while not subject to tax, may be diverted to the illegal manufacture of taxable tobacco products.
