The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C.
5731 and 5732 requires manufacturers of tobacco products,
manufacturers of cigarette papers and tubes, and export warehouse
proprietors to pay an annual special (occupational) tax for each
such premises that they operate. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5732 requires
such taxes to be paid on the basis on a return under regulations
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Form TTB F 5630.5R, which
TTB sends out annually to tobacco industry members that have
previously paid the special tax, meets this purpose. Use of TTB F
5630.5R protects the revenue by facilitating the registration of
premises subject to special tax and the timely payment of that tax
by the businesses subject to it. The information collected on the
form is essential to TTB’s collecting, processing, and accounting
for these special taxes.
There are no program changes
associated with this information collection. As for adjustments,
TTB is decreasing the estimated number of annual respondents,
responses, and burden hours due to a decrease in the number of
tobacco industry members subject to special (occupational) tax. TTB
previously reported 400 respondents, 400 responses, and 100 burden
hours. For the 2018 special tax year, TTB estimates there will be
350 respondents to this information collection, each making one
annual response, with an estimated total annual burden of 87.5
hours. In addition, on TTB F 5630.5R, TTB is updating the
occupational tax year and the TTB mailing address contained in the
Paperwork Reduction Act statement.
