Taxes and Filing

As a TTB-regulated industry member, you may be responsible for paying federal excise taxes. Your obligation as a taxpayer will depend on your circumstances and business type.

Beginning with the calendar quarter January 1, 2017, eligible taxpayers who reasonably expect to be liable for not more than $1,000 in taxes imposed with respect to distilled spirits, wine, and beer for the calendar year (and who were liable for not more than $1,000 in such taxes in the preceding calendar year) can pay those taxes annually, rather than quarterly.

The PATH Act amendments to the IRC authorize a new annual tax return period. Beginning with the calendar quarter starting January 1, 2017, taxpayers who reasonably expect to be liable for not more than $1,000 in taxes imposed with respect to distilled spirits, wine, and beer for the calendar year and who were liable for not more than $1,000 in such taxes in the preceding calendar year, may pay those taxes annually, rather than semi-monthly or quarterly.

The above will take into account all federal holidays. In the event that the due date, as indicated in this schedule, falls on a statewide legal holiday in the state where the return is required to be filed, the due date is the immediately preceding date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
