The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5121 requires wholesale dealers in liquors to keep daily
records of all distilled spirits received and disposed of, and, at
the Secretary of the Treasury’s discretion, to submit periodic
summaries of those daily records. That IRC section also requires
wholesale dealers in liquors and wholesale dealers in beer to keep
daily records of all wine and beer received. Section 5121 also
authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding the keeping
and submission of these records and summary reports by such
wholesale dealers. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5123 sets
forth retention and inspection requirements for the required
wholesale dealer records and reports. Under these IRC authorities,
TTB has issued regulations applicable to wholesale dealers, which
are contained in 27 CFR part 31. Those regulations require
wholesale dealers to keep usual and customary business records,
such as consignment and purchase invoices, documenting their daily
receipt and disposition of distilled spirits and their daily
receipt of wine and beer. TTB, at its discretion, also may require
a particular wholesale liquor dealer to submit monthly summary
reports regarding all distilled spirits received and disposed of on
a daily basis. In addition, the TTB regulations require that
wholesaler dealers keep the required records and copies of any
required monthly summary reports at their place of business,
available for TTB inspection, for at least 3 years.
