Deposits of Excise Taxes
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.
ACTION: Final regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains final regulations relating to deposits
of excise taxes. These regulations reflect changes to the law made by
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and affect persons required to make
deposits of excise taxes. This document also removes obsolete excise
tax regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 12, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ruth Hoffman, (202) 622-3130 (not a
toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 amended sections 6302 (e)
and (f) (relating to deposits of excise taxes). As amended, effective
January 1, 1995, these provisions require an additional deposit in
September of each year of all excise taxes except those imposed by
section 4261 or 4271 (relating to air transportation). The taxes
imposed by sections 4261 and 4271 are scheduled to expire on December
31, 1996. If those taxes are reinstated, they will be subject to the
new deposit provisions beginning on January 1, 1997.
Temporary regulations (TD 8616) were published in the Federal
Register on August 29, 1995 (60 FR 44758), along with a notice of
proposed rulemaking (PS-8-95) cross-referencing the temporary
regulations (60 FR 44788). No written comments were received and no
public hearing was held. The proposed regulations are adopted as
revised by this Treasury decision and the corresponding temporary
regulations are removed. Explanation of revisions
The temporary regulations provide rules implementing the changes
made by the Act in a separate regulations section (Sec. 40.6302(c)-5T).
Instead of finalizing that section, this document incorporates the
amendments made by the temporary regulations into the text of
Secs. 40.6302(c)-1 through 40.6302(c)-4.
To reflect changes in technology, the 14-day rule under
Sec. 40.6302(c)-4 is amended to apply to deposits made by electronic
funds transfer.
In addition, the rules set forth in Secs. 601.104(a)(5) and
601.403(c)(2), relating to persons required to collect and pay over
tax, have been combined, revised, and moved to part 49 as Sec. 49.4291-
1.
Removal of obsolete regulations; amendments to table of OMB control
numbers
This document removes obsolete excise tax regulations under part
601 and obsolete cross-references under part 301. Also removed are
obsolete regulations relating to matters now under the jurisdiction of
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). Generally,
regulations pertaining to ATF procedural rules are in 27 CFR parts 70
and 71.
In addition, this document updates various entries in the Table of
OMB Numbers contained in part 602.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a
significant regulatory action as defined in EO 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that
section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5)
and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) do not apply to
these regulations, and, therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is
not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue Code,
the notice of proposed rulemaking preceding these regulations was
submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration for comment on its impact on small business.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these regulations is Ruth Hoffman, Office
of Assistant Chief Counsel (Passthroughs and Special Industries).
However, other personnel from the IRS and Treasury Department
participated in their development.

Par. 14a. Subpart F, consisting of Sec. 49.4291-1, is added to read
as follows:
Subpart F--Collection of Tax By Persons Receiving Payment
Sec. 49.4291-1 Persons receiving payment must collect tax.
Except as otherwise provided in section 4263(a), every person
receiving any payment for facilities or services on which a tax is
imposed upon the payor thereof under chapter 33 shall collect the
amount of the tax from the person making that payment. Under section
7501, all taxes collected in this manner are held by the collecting
agent in trust for the United States. If the person from whom the tax
is required to be collected refuses to pay it or if for any reason it
is impossible for the collecting agent to collect the tax from that
person, the collecting agent is required to report to the district
director the name and address of that person, the nature of the
facility provided or service rendered, the amount paid therefore, and
the date on which paid. Upon receipt of this information the district
director will proceed against the person to whom the facilities were
provided or the services rendered to assert the amount of tax due,
affording that person the same district conference, protest, and
appellate rights as are available to other excise taxpayers. In
addition, when a field or office audit of a collecting agent's records,
or of a taxpayer's records, discloses that the collecting agent failed
during prior reporting
[[Page 58008]]
periods to collect taxes due, the district director may assert those
taxes directly against the person to whom the facilities were provided
or the services rendered, whether or not the collecting agent had
attempted collection or the person liable for the tax had refused
payment thereof.
