Firearms
General Instructions
Section III - Business Registration
If	you	are	engaged	in	one	or	more	of	the	National	Firearms	Act	(NFA)	activities	listed	on	this	form	(see definition),	you	are	required	to	file	this	form	
and	pay	special	occupational	tax	before	beginning	business.		This	form	is	
for	NFA	taxpayers	only.			You	may	file	one	return	to	cover	several	locations	
or	 several	 types	 of	 activity.	 	 However,	 you	 must	 submit	 a	 separate	 return	
for	each	tax	period.		The	special	occupational	tax	period	runs	from	July	1	
through	June	30	and	payment	is	due	annually	by	July	1.		If	you	do	not	pay	
on	 a	 timely	 basis,	 interest	 will	 be	 charged	 and	 penalties	 may	 be	 incurred.
If	you	engage	in	a	taxable	activity	at	more	than	one	location,	attach	to	your	
return	a	sheet	showing	your	name,	trade	name,	address	and	employer	identification	number,	the	complete	street	addresses,	and	the	Federal	Firearms	
License	(FFL)	number	of	all	additional	locations.
As	evidence	of	tax	payment,	you	will	be	issued	a	Special	Tax	Stamp,	ATF	
Form	5630.6A,	for	each	location	and/or	business.		You	must	have	an	FFL	
for	the	location,	appropriate	to	the	type	of	activity	conducted.		The	type	of	
business	(individual owner, partnership, corporation) must	be	the	same	
for	the	taxable	activity	and	the	FFL.		If	a	trade	name	is	used,	it	must	be	the	
same	on	the	tax	stamp	and	the	FFL.
The	special	tax	rates	listed	on	this	form	became	effective	January	1,	1988.		
If	you	were	engaged	in	NFA	firearms	related	activity	prior	to	this	date	and	
did	not	pay	special	occupational	tax,	please	contact	the	National	Firearms	
Act	Division for	assistance.

Please	complete	the	ownership	information	in	Section	III.		Supply	the	
information	specified	in	item	14	for	each	individual	owner,	partner	or	
responsible	person.		For	a	corporation,	partnership	or	association,	a	
responsible	person	is	anyone	with	the	power	to	control	the	management	
policies	or	buying	or	selling	practices	pertaining	to	firearms.		For	a	
corporation,	association	or	similar	organization,	it	also	means	any	person	
owning	10	percent	or	more	of	the	outstanding	stock	in	the	business.
Changes in Operations
For	 a	 change	 of	 address,	 location	 or	 trade	 name,	 an	 amended	ATF	 Form	
5630.7	must	be	filed	and	approved	before	the	change	is	made.		Return	your	
Special	 Tax	 Stamp,	ATF	 Form	 5630.6A,	 along	 with	 the	 completed	ATF	
Form	 5630.7	 to:	 	 NFA	 Division-SOT,	 Bureau	 of	ATF,	 244	 Needy	 Road,		
Martinsburg,	 WV	 25405	 and	 an	 amended	ATF	 Form	 5630.6A	 will	 be	
issued.		All	taxpayers	with	such	changes	must	return	their	FFL	to	the	ATF	
Federal	Firearms	Licensing	Center	 (address listed on FFL)	for	amendment.
If	special	taxpayers	do	not	register	these	changes	within	the	appropriate	
time	frames,	additional	tax	and	interest	will	be	charged	and	penalties	may	
be	incurred.		For	a	change	in	ownership	or	control	of	an	activity,	consult	
the	ATF	Federal	Firearms	Licensing	Center,	at	866-662-2750,	before	
beginning	the	activity.		If	the	Federal	firearms	licensee	discontinues	
business	and	retains	NFA	firearms,	this	retention	may	be	in	violation	of	
law.		The	licensee	should	check	with	State	or	local	authorities.
Definition

Complete	Section	I,	Taxpayer	Identifying	Information,	as	specified	on	
the	form.		Enter	the	tax	period	covered	by	the	return	in	the	space	provided.		Your	return	must	contain	a	valid	EMPLOYER	IDENTIFICATION	
NUMBER	(EIN).		The	EIN	is	a	unique	number	for	business	entities	issued	
by	the	Inter-nal	Revenue	Service	(IRS).		You must have an EIN whether
you are an individual owner, partnership, corporation, or agency of the
government. If	you	do	not	have	an	EIN,	contact	your	local	IRS	office	
immediately	to	obtain	one.		While	ATF	may	assign	a	temporary	identification	number	(beginning with XX)	to	allow	initial	processing	of	a	return	
which	lacks	an	EIN,	a tax stamp will not be issued until you have submitted a valid EIN. Do	not	delay	submission	of	your	return	and	payment	
past	the	due	date	pending	receipt	of	your	EIN.		If	you	have	not	received	a	
number	by	the	time	you	file	this	return,	write	“number applied for”	in	the	
space	for	the	number.		Submit	your	EIN	by	separate	correspondence	after	
receipt	from	the	IRS.

IMPORTERS,	MANUFACTURERS,	and	DEALERS	of		FIREARMS	
subject	to	the	National	Firearms	Act	(tax class codes 61, 62, 63, 71, or 72)
are	individuals	or	business	entities	who	import,	manufacture	or	deal	in	
machineguns,	short-barreled	shotguns	and	rifles,	destructive	devices,	etc.		
See	26	U.S.C.	5845	for	additional	information	on	the	types	of	weapons	
subject	to	the	National	Firearms	Act.		(NOTE: This tax is not required
from those persons or entities who deal only in conventional, sporting type
fire-arms.)

Section II - Tax Computation

To	complete	Section	II,	enter	the	number	of	locations	in	Col.	(11d)	on	the	
appropriate	line(s)	and	multiply	by	the	tax	rate,	Col.	(11c).		Insert	the	tax	
due	in	Col.	(11e).		Compute	the	taxes	due	for	each	class	and	enter	the	total	
amount	due	in	the	block	“Total Tax Due”.
Instructions for Reduced Rate Taxpayers

The	reduced	rates	for	certain	tax	classes,	indicated	with	an	asterisk	(*)	in	
Section	II,	apply	only	to	those	taxpayers	whose	total	gross	receipts	for	
your	most	recent	income	tax	year	are	less	than	$500,000	(not just receipts
relating to the activity subject to special occupational tax).		However,	if	
you	are	a	member	of	a	controlled	group	as	defined	in	section	5061(e)(3)	of	
the	Internal	Revenue	Code,	you	are	not	eligible	for	this	reduced	rate	unless	
the	total	gross	receipts	for	the	entire	group	are	less	than	$500,000.		If	your	
business	is	beginning	an	activity	subject	to	special	tax	for	the	first	time,	you	
may	qualify	for	a	reduced	rate	in	your	initial	tax	year	if	gross	receipts	for	
the	business	(or the entire control group, if a member of a control group)
were	under	$500,000	the	previous	year.		If	you	are	eligible	for	the	reduced	
rate,	check	item	15	in	Section	III	and	compute	your	tax	using	the	reduced	
rate	in	Section	II.

Miscellaneous Instructions

If	you	do	not	intend	to	pay	the	special	tax	for	the	next	year,	you	must	
dispose	of	any	machineguns	manufactured	or	imported	after	May	19,	1986,	
prior	to	your	special	tax	status	lapsing.		Title	18,	United	States	Code,	
section	922(o)	makes	it	unlawful	to	possess	these	machineguns	unless	you	
are	properly	qualified.		As	provided	in	Title	27,	Code	of	Federal	
Regulations,	Part	479,105(f),	the	disposition	must	be	made	to	a	government	
agency	or	qualified	licensee	or	the	weapon	must	be	destroyed.
This	form	must	be	signed	by	the	individual	owner,	a	partner,	or,	in	the	case	
of	a	corporation,	by	an	individual	authorized	to	sign	for	the	corporation.

Please	sign	and	date	the	return,	make	check	or	money	order	payable	to	BUREAU	OF	ALCOHOL,	TOBACCO,	FIREARMS	AND	EXPLOSIVES,	for	
the	amount	in	the	Total	Tax	Due	block,	and	MAIL	THE	FORM	ALONG	
WITH	THE	PAYMENT	TO	SPECIAL	OCCUPATIONAL	TAX,	P.O.	Box	
6200-13,	Portland,	OR		97228-6200.

Taxpayer Reminder
This	is	an	annual	tax	due	before	starting	business	and	by	July	1	each	
year	after	that.		After	your	initial	payment	of	this	tax,	you	should	
receive	a	“renewal”	registration	and	return	each	year	in	the	mail,	
prior	to	the	due	date.		However,	if	you	do	not	receive	a	renewal	form,	
you	are	still	liable	for	the	tax	and	should	contact	the	ATF	National	
Firearms	Act	Branch	noted	in	the	instructions	to	obtain	a	Special	
(Occupational)	Tax	Registration	and	Return.
