Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition sold by manufacturers, producers, and importers. Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 4221, no excise tax is imposed on certain sales of firearms and ammunition, provided that the seller and purchaser of the articles (with certain exceptions) are registered as required by 26 U.S.C. 4222 and the related regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 53.140 prescribe the use of form TTB F 5300.28 as the application to obtain an approved Certificate of Registry to sell or purchase firearms and ammunition tax free. TTB uses the collected information to determine if the respondent is qualified to engage in tax-free sales and issue the required certificate. In addition, once registered, persons registered make certain amendments to their previously provided information by filing an amended TTB F 5300.28 or by filing a letterhead notice.
