Under 26 U.S.C. 5041(c), certain small wine producers are eligible for a tax credit which may be taken to reduce the Federal excise tax they pay on wines removed from their premises. In addition, small producers can transfer their tax credit to bonded warehouses, which store their wine and ship it on their instructions. Under TTB regulations, the transferee uses information provided by the small producer to take the appropriate credit on behalf of the small producer, and the producer will use the information to monitor its own tax payments to ensure it does not exceed the authorized annual credit. The information is used by taxpayers in preparing their returns and by TTB to verify tax computation.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
