Abstract: Volatile fruit-flavor concentrates contain alcohol when made by an evaporative process from the mash or juice of a fruit. 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 the manufacturers file applications, keep records, and meet certain statutory and regulatory requirements. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 18 require volatile fruit-flavor concentrate manufacturers to register using form TTB F 5520.3 and file amendments to their registrations using that form or a letterhead application (depending on circumstances). Additionally, the regulations require concentrate manufacturers to maintain a record file of all approved registrations and related supporting documents. TTB uses the collected information to identify concentrate manufacturers and their operations to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.
