Under its statutory and delegated
authorities, TTB is responsible for the collection of the Federal
excise taxes imposed on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco
products, and cigarette papers and tubes by chapters 51 and 52 of
the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). As provided at 26 U.S.C. 5061(a)
and 26 U.S.C. 5703(b), the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires
that those taxes be collected on the basis of a return, filed for
the periods, at the times, and containing the information the
Secretary of the Treasury requires by regulation. The IRC at 26
U.S.C. 7652(a) also provides that taxes imposed by the IRC on
domestic articles, including those on alcohol and tobacco products,
apply at the same rates to similar products manufactured in Puerto
Rico and brought into the United States, to be paid and collected
under such regulations as the Secretary shall issue. In addition,
section 7652(a) requires the majority of such taxes to be
transferred into the treasury of Puerto Rico. Issued under those
IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 26 (for
distilled spirits, wine, and beer) and part 41 (for tobacco
products and cigarette papers and tubes), prescribe the use of TTB
F 5000.25, Excise Tax Return – Alcohol and Tobacco (Puerto Rico)
for the collection of the excise taxes imposed by 26 U.S.C.
7652(a).
