In general, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7652, 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. That section also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding the collection of such taxes, which, as provided in that section, are largely transferred to the treasury of Puerto Rico. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 26 require persons who intend to ship alcohol products produced in Puerto Rico to the United States for consumption or sale to file an application and permit to compute the tax on, tax-pay, and withdraw those products for shipment. As such, the TTB regulations prescribe the use of TTB F 5100.21 for beer or wine products, and TTB F 5110.51 for distilled spirits products. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue. In cases where the respondent makes the shipment taxpaid, TTB uses the required information to verify that the respondent has paid the correct amount of tax. In cases where the respondent is eligible to defer the tax payment, TTB uses the information to ensure that the respondentâs bond coverage is adequate to cover the taxes due. If necessary, TTB also uses the collected information to enforce collection of any tax owed to the Federal government on such shipments.
