Abstract: Chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) requires tobacco products manufacturers, cigarette papers and tubes manufacturers, and tobacco product export warehouse proprietors to register for and pay special (occupational) tax (SOT). TTB F 5630.5t is used for registration and tax payment for such businesses. With regard to alcohol, in 2005, section 11125 of Public Law 109–59 permanently repealed, effective July 1, 2008, the SOT on all alcohol dealers required by Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.). However, the registration requirement for such entities remains in force. TTB F 5630.5a is a tax return/registration for persons already in business who failed to register or pay SOT on or before June 30, 2008, and TTB F 5630.5d is used to register alcohol dealers on and after July 1, 2008.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The burden for this collection has decreased due to several factors: 1) TTB F 5630.5a is completed by persons who are already in business, but have failed to register or pay the special (occupational) tax (SOT) on or prior to June 30, 2008. The number of respondents has decreased because most are in compliance. A reduction of 13,950 respondents and 5,813 burden hour is attributed to this adjustment. 2) TTB F 5630.5d is completed by new wholesale and retail liquor dealers and by existing wholesale and retail liquor dealers required to register changes in business operations. However, businesses that file a registration or brewer's notice under the qualification provisions of 27 CFR Parts 19, 24, or 25 of the TTB regulations do not have to file TTB F 5630.5d since their registration or notice filed under those provisions fulfills the SOT registration requirement. A reduction of 12,000 respondents and 5,000 burden hours is attributed to this program change. 3) TTB F 5630.5t is completed by tobacco industry respondents and the number of such respondents engaged in business has decreased. A reduction of 700 respondents and 292 burden hours is due to an adjustment. A total of 3,478 burden hours is requested.
