As authorized by the Internal Revenue
Code at 26 U.S.C. 5511, manufacturers of volatile fruit-flavor
concentrate must provide reports as necessary to ensure the
protection of the revenue. The report, TTB F 5520.2, accounts for
all concentrates manufactured, removed, or treated so as to be
unfit for beverage use. TTB requires this information to verify
that alcohol is not being diverted, thereby jeopardizing tax
revenues. The records used to compile this report are usual and
customary business records that the manufacturer would maintain in
the course of doing business. These reports and records must be
retained for 3 years from the date prepared or 3 years from the
date of the last entry, whichever is later.
