Abstract: Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5051, all beer produced in or imported into the United States is subject to Federal excise tax, but, under 26 U.S.C. 5053(a), beer exported from the United States is not subject to that tax. As such, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5055, brewers may receive drawback (refund) of the excise tax paid on domestically produced beer when it is subsequently exported or delivered for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft if the brewer provides proof of such action as the Secretary requires by regulation. Under the authority of 26 U.S.C. 5055, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow the brewer or their agent to file a claim for drawback (refund) of the excise taxes paid on beer when the beer is exported to a foreign country, delivered to the U.S. Armed Forces for export, delivered for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft, or transferred to a foreign trade zone for export. The regulations require such export drawback claims to be made on form TTB F 5130.6. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to verify the accuracy of export drawback claims for beer, which prevents payment of incorrect and fraudulent export drawback claims.
