Abstract: Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates contain alcohol when made from the mash or juice of a fruit by an evaporative process. However, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes and most other provisions of chapter 51 of the IRC do not apply to such concentrates if their manufacturers meet certain statutory and regulatory requirements. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 18 require manufacturers to submit an annual summary report, using form TTB F 5520.2, to account for all volatile fruit-flavor concentrates produced, removed, or made unfit for beverage use. Such manufacturers compile this report from usual and customary business, which, under the regulations, respondents must retain for 3 years. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied and that concentrate manufacturers operate in compliance with its regulations.
