INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC DATA
PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Manufacturers of tobacco products:
Purpose. This industry circular is to solicit your cooperation
in advising your assistant regional commissioner (alcohol and tobacco
tax) of any plans you may have for converting your present recordkeeping system to electronic data processing.
Comments. Because of the steadily increasing use of electronic
data processing systems, it seems advisable to suggest that consideration be given, in designing such systems, to internal revenue recordkeeping requirements as well as to industry accounting needs. Therefore, if you contemplate changing your present recordkeeping system
to electronic data processing, please advise your assistant regional
commissioner (alcohol and tobacco tax) sufficiently in advance of
actual installation to enable him to assist you and cooperate with
you in determining that all of the information required by tobacco
products regulations will be programmed into your electronic system.
Inquiries. Inquiries concerning this circular should refer to
its number and be addressed to your assistant regional commissioner
(alcohol and tobacco tax).
