DRAFT OF TEMPORARY RULES FOR RETURN SYSTEM
FOR TAXPAYMENT OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS
Manufacturers and importers of
tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes
Purpose. The purpose of this industry circular is to transmit
to you a preliminary draft of the temporary rules for the payment of
taxes on manufactured tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes on the basis
of returns.
Background. Industry Circular No. 59-32 of May 27, 1959,
furnished preliminary information to help you effectively plan for
a smooth transition from the payment of taxes under the stamp
system, or the daily return system in the case of cigars, to the
payment of taxes on all tobacco products on the basis of returns.
Daft of Regulations. A preliminary draft of the interim
regulations for the payment of the taxes on manufactured tobacco,
cigars, and cigarettes on the basis of returns, to be effective
June 24, 1959, has been prepared. We are attaching a copy so that
you may be fully advised at the earliest possible date as to the
proposed new requirements. After approval by the Secretary of the
Treasury, these interim regulations will be published in the Federal
Register. We plan to then transmit to you a reprint of such
publication.
Inquiries.. Inquiries in regard to this industry
circular should refer to its number and be addressed to the office
of your assistant regional commissioner (alcohol and tobacco tax).
Dwight E. Avis
Director, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division
