Abstract: Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062, persons who export tax-paid or tax-determined distilled spirits may claim drawback (refund) of the Federal alcohol excise tax paid on those spirits, as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28, distilled spirits exporters use TTB F 5110.30 to submit such claims to TTB. The form collects information regarding the claimant, the identity and amount of the distilled spirits exported, and the amount of drawback claimed. This collection is necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the information on TTB F 5110.30 and its attached documents to verify distilled spirits export drawback claims, prevent fraudulent or mistaken drawback payments, and identify unusual activities, errors, or omissions regarding such claims.
