Abstract: Under 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 5703(b), the Federal alcohol and tobacco excise tax is collected on the basis of a return. Businesses, other than those in Puerto Rico, report their Federal excise tax liability on those products on TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return. TTB uses the information provided on the return form to establish the taxpayer's identity, the amount and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made.

Emergency Justfication: This information collection is being revised in relation to a TTB temporary rule that we are issuing in response to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act; Division Q of Pub. Law 114–113). This rulemaking implements section 332 of the PATH Act, which amends the Internal Revenue Code to change Federal excise tax return due dates and remove bond requirements for certain eligible taxpayers. These statutory changes are effective January 1, 2017, and as a result, TTB is requesting emergency approval of this revised information collection.
