In general, under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 7652(a)(1), merchandise manufactured in Puerto Rico and shipped to the United States for consumption or sale is subject to a tax equal to the internal revenue tax imposed in the United States upon like articles of merchandise of domestic manufacture. Under this authority, in order to protect the revenue, the TTB regulations require, among other things, the use of TTB F 5100.21 and TTB F 5110.51 by persons shipping wine, beer, and certain distilled spirits products produced in Puerto Rico to the United States for domestic consumption or sale. TTB F 5100.21 is an application and permit to compute the Federal excise tax on, taxpay, and withdraw wine or beer for shipment to the United States. TTB F 5110.51 is an application and permit to compute the tax on, taxpay, and withdraw for shipment to the United States certain distilled spirits products.
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 114â113). 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.
