Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5207, requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and submit reports of their production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities, and, at 26 U.S.C. 5214, it authorizes the withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a DSP free of tax for certain specified uses, all subject regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep certain records regarding their production, loss, receipt, transfer, and withdrawal of denatured spirits. Using the required records, those regulations also require DSP proprietors to report a summary of their daily denaturing (processing) activities to TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB F 5110.43. Because denatured spirits may be removed from a DSP free of tax, a full accounting of a DSP’s denaturation operations is necessary to protect the revenue. The required records and reports allow TTB to detect and prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable uses, ensure compliance with Federal law and regulations, and compile industry statistics.
