E-book Title: Tax Audit - Tobacco Industry Edition
Book Description: RIGHT NOW, You Can Escape The Pain and Embarrassment of Not Being Prepared For An IRS Audit.
Tobacco is deeply rooted in our history. Because the export of tobacco financed shipment of essential goods from England, it became the lifeblood of the early settlers. Tobacco sales continue to play a major role in the U.S. economy. Approximately one-third of the total annual production is exported. Leaf and manufactured product exports have grown since 1988 and now appear to be leveling off.
Generally, imported tobacco is a lower grade than domestic leaf. It is used in the manufacture of generic cigarettes, which, in 1992, were 30 percent of the market. American leaf is used in brand name production. Tobacco is the seventh largest cash crop of the 50 states. One acre produces an average yield of $3,852. In comparison, corn, cotton, and peanuts yield $262, $380, and $691 per acre, respectively.
The tax on tobacco products is now the second largest revenue generated for the U.S. Treasury, exceeded only by excise tax collections from gasoline. Tobacco is the most heavily taxed of any consumer product by percent of retail price. The taxes generated are not only from excise, but from income, employment, property, and sales taxes.
Take a FREE sneak peek into just a few of the aspects that the IRS knows about the Tobacco Industry - you may be surprised!
During the initial stages of gathering information on tobacco growers, a scheme was uncovered through contact with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The dealers circumvented the regulatory requirements enabling the farmers to sell tobacco which exceeded their quota. It was discovered that more than 20 million pounds of tobacco (at an average price of $1.70 per pound) were sold through the scheme in 1991 alone.
Examinations of dealers in both districts have resulted in substantial adjustments. Several fraud referrals have been made and two examinations to date have resulted in jeopardy assessments. In spite of the regulatory system of checks and balances, various schemes have been developed.

Most schemes to circumvent the quota system involve payments by cash for goods or services. These payments are generally unsubstantiated by the payer and are usually unreported for tax purposes by the recipient. Dealers who participated in these schemes generally have been found to overstate their cost of goods sold to reflect what it would have been had they purchased tobacco legitimately, rather than reflecting the bargain price they paid for excess production. Dealers also have been found to use structuring arrangements to avoid filing cash transaction reports, Form 8300 and CTR's, when cashing the checks by warehouses.
