Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per gallon of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits subsequently used in the manufacture of certain nonbeverage products such as medicines, food products, flavors, and perfumes. Manufacturers making such products must file claims proving their eligibility for drawback, and respondents may file such claims either on a monthly or a quarterly basis. The IRC also authorizes the Secretary to require persons filing monthly nonbeverage product drawback claims to provide a bond. See 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 17 and 26 require monthly nonbeverage drawback claimants to file such a bond using form TTB F 5154.3. The required bond ensures repayment of paid claims later found to be ineligible for nonbeverage drawback in cases when the claimant is unable to repay the taxes due.
