Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to account for and verify taxable removals of distilled spirits. Under the TTB regulations, industry members must keep records of spirits removed and the applicable tax rates, and must keep records to account for and verify nontaxable removals. TTB uses the data collected to audit tax returns and payments, verify claims for refunds or remission of tax, and account for cover over of taxes to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
