FEDERAL EXCISE TAX: Federal Excise Tax applies to articles of sport fishing equipment that are designed or constructed for the use in the sport of fishing.

These forms can be obtained from your local I.R.S. office.

The Federal Excise Tax paid by the manufacturers on the sale of sport fishing equipment goes directly into a fund dedicated specifically for projects to improve fishery habitat, fishery access and aquatic education. In addition, the funds have supported state fish hatchery and stocking programs, education efforts, weed control and habitat improvement projects and fishery research.
