Excise taxpayers are reminded that the excise tax collection process is an online process; returns must be completed on BIR’s website, which is at https://excise.bir.vi.gov.

Local manufacturers are also reminded that they are required to file a manufacturer’s excise tax return, Form 721VI, and include the manufacturer’s worksheet, Form 721VI MWK, which will cover the monthly sale of items manufactured in the territory.

The returns are due 30 days following the month concerned. Manufacturers’ returns are available on the bureau’s website, at http://bir.vi.gov and at all of its offices.

Questions concerning the excise tax should be directed to Glenford Hodge, supervisor of Excise Tax Return at 715-1040, ext. 3201.
