Our vision is an organization of people who value each other and who treat each other and their customers with the respect that they deserve. We intend to uphold the laws, for which we are responsible, in a fair, equitable and appropriate manner, affording all an opportunity to have their opinions heard without prejudice. We intend to carry out our mission without imposing inappropriate or undue burden on those from which we collect taxes and those we regulate.

The mission of TTB is to collect alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and ammunition excise taxes that are rightfully due; to protect the consumer of alcohol beverages through voluntary compliance programs that are based upon education and enforcement to ensure a fair and even marketplace; and to assist industry members to understand and comply with Federal tax, product, and marketing requirements associated with the commodities we regulate.

Our Goals

Protect the Public
Prevent consumer deception; ensure that regulated alcohol and tobacco products comply with Federal commodity, safety, and the distribution requirements; and provide high quality customer service.

Collect the Revenue
Provide the most effective and efficient system for the collection of all revenue that is rightfully due; eliminate or prevent tax evasion and other criminal conduct; and provide high quality service while imposing the least regulatory burden.

Refine Management Practices
Ensure that all TTB programs operate at optimum efficiency and effectiveness and with full accountability, by providing high quality management and administrative support.
