Treasury Delays Tax and Reporting Due Dates for Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Ammunition Businesses Hit by COVID-19
March 31, 2020

WASHINGTON – The Treasury Department is delaying tax payment due dates for wine, beer,
distilled spirits, tobacco products, firearms, and ammunition excise taxes, to provide flexibility
for businesses that have been negatively a ected by COVID-19.
“Many businesses regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) have been
adversely impacted by the COVID-19,” said Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “To assist these
businesses during this challenging period, Treasury is postponing several filing and payment
due dates for 90 days.”
The postponement of due dates applies to any tax payment or operational report with an
original due date falling on or a er March 1, 2020, through July 1, 2020. Interest and penalties
will not apply when payments are made within 90 days of the original due date. TTB will reevaluate the terms of this immediate relief as circumstances warrant.
Treasury recognizes that the operations of many of TTB’s regulated industry members may be
impacted by COVID-19 in a variety of ways. We will consider applications on a case-by-case basis
for the use of alternate methods and procedures that help the a ected industry members to
resume or continue their operations. Businesses requesting emergency variations from
regulatory requirements can do so through this online contact form.
