Abstract: Representatives of the motor fuel industry, state governments, and the Federal government are working to ensure compliance with excise taxes on motor fuels. This joint effort has resulted in a system to track the movement of all products to and from terminals. Form 720-CS is an information return used by bulk transport carriers to report monthly receipts and disbursements of all liquid products at a storage location designated by a facility control number (FCN). Form 720-TO is completed by terminal operators to report monthly receipts and disbursements of all liquid products to and from all approved terminals. Form 8809-EX is used to request a 30-day extension of time to file an Excise Summary Terminal Activity Reporting System (ExSTARS) information report (Form 720-CS or Form 720-TO).
