Pure ethanol is subject to a Federal Excise Tax (FET) of $13.50 per proof gallon which means if you purchased a gallon of 200 proof pure ethanol, you would pay $27.00 in tax. Please visit the TTB's website to learn more.
Hospitals and Government facilities may be granted a tax free permit which allows them to purchase the alcohol without payment of the tax. If you believe you are eligable for this permit, click here.
Most users are not able to obtain a tax free permit (a state sales and use permit does not apply). The TTB defines it as "Non-beverage drawback alcohol is pure alcohol, the same as that used for consumption. However, when manufacturers use that alcohol in the production of a food, flavor, medicine, or perfume, and the Non-beverage Products Laboratory approves the product as unfit for beverage purposes, they can claim a return on most of the distilled spirits excise tax paid." The claim referred to is called a Drawback, and the full explanation of the rules and regulations for it are here.
