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.
