Businesses, other than those in Puerto Rico, report their Federal excise tax liability on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes on TTB F 5000.24. TTB needs this form to identify the taxpayer and to determine the amount and type of taxes due and paid.
The frequency of reporting was previously contained in separate ICs. This has now been corrected and the multiple frequencies required of this form have been aggregated into one IC. Due to constrains in ROCIS, this adjustment, a decrease of 45,044 hours, is shown as a program change due to agency discretion.
An updated account of the number of respondents has increased the number of responses by 113,717; for an additional 85,287 burden hours.
The total burden requested this submission is 133,453 hours.
