Form 8807 PDF Details

Understanding the multifaceted nature of Form 8807 is crucial for retailers, manufacturers, and importers engaged in transactions subject to federal excise taxes. Instituted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), this form serves as an essential tool for calculating and reporting excise taxes on a wide spectrum of goods ranging from heavy vehicles to luxury passenger vehicles. Specifically, Form 8807 is divided into two main parts: Part I focuses on the computation of tax for items including trucks, trailers, semitrailers, fishing equipment, and archery products, aligning with the tax rates designated for each category. Part II, alternatively, is dedicated to the luxury tax applicable to passenger vehicles exceeding the set sales price threshold. Furthermore, this form takes into account various scenarios such as exemptions for vehicles utilized by individuals with disabilities, adjustments for parts or accessories added post-sale, and specific tax implications for imported vehicles. To facilitate compliance, this form is designed to be attached to Form 720, the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, making it a critical document for ensuring accurate tax reporting and adherence to evolving tax laws, including the nuanced changes affecting luxury taxes post-December 1992 and considerations for exported vehicles. Such intricate details underscore the significance of thorough comprehension and accurate completion of Form 8807 in the realm of excise tax obligations.

Part I

Truck, Trailer, and Semitrailer Chassis and Bodies, and Tractors (IRS No. 33).—

The tax on truck, trailer, and semitrailer chassis and bodies, and tractors is 12% (.12) of the sales price of the first retail sale of the item. The sales price of a vehicle includes certain related parts and accessories sold on or in connection with the sale of the vehicle. It applies to vehicles designed for highway transportation that have a gross vehicle weight (GVW) over 33,000 pounds. It also applies to truck, trailer, and semitrailer chassis and bodies for use with a trailer or semitrailer with a GVW over 26,000 pounds. Tractors of the kind mainly used for highway transportation with a trailer or semitrailer are taxable.

Fishing Equipment (IRS Nos. 41 and

42).—The tax on sport fishing equipment (IRS No. 41) is 10% (.1) of the sales price. Taxable articles include fishing rods and poles (and component parts), reels, fly fishing lines (and other lines not over 130 pounds test), fishing spears, spear guns, spear tips, terminal tackle, fishing supplies and accessories, and any parts or accessories sold on or in connection with these articles.

The tax on electric outboard motors and sonar devices for finding fish (IRS No. 42) is 3% (.03) of the sales price. The tax is limited to $30 for each sonar device.

A sonar device for finding fish does not include graph recorders, digital types, meter readouts, or combination graph recorders or combination meter readouts.

Bows and Arrows (IRS No. 44).—The tax on bows and arrows (IRS No. 44) is 11% (.11) of the sales price. It applies to bows having a draw weight of 10 pounds or more and to arrows 18 inches or more in overall length. Arrows less than 18 inches are taxable if they are suitable for use with a bow that has a draw weight of 10 pounds or more. The tax is also imposed on the sale of any part or accessory suitable for inclusion in or attachment to a taxable bow or arrow and any quiver suitable for use with taxable arrows. The tax on parts and accessories does not apply to an article on which the tax on bows and arrows has been imposed.

Part II

Use Part II of this form for the luxury tax on passenger vehicles. They are taxable if the adjusted sales price exceeds $30,000. The tax is 10% of the amount by which the adjusted sales price exceeds the base amount.

Taxable Transactions.—There are three types of transactions that are taxable.

1.First Retail Sale.—The tax is imposed on the first retail sale of a taxable vehicle and must be paid by the seller of the vehicle. See the instructions for line 1 and Worksheet I for more information.

2.Subsequent Additions.—Parts or accessories that are installed within 6 months after a vehicle is placed in service may be taxable. Replacement parts and accessories are not taxable if they are of the same general style, quality, purpose, and appearance as the original part or accessory. Parts and accessories are not taxable if the aggregate price of all parts and accessories including installation is $200 or less. The tax must be paid by the owner, operator, or lessee of a vehicle. If the part or accessory is installed by someone other than the owner, operator, or lessee, the installer must collect the tax and pay it to the IRS. See the instructions for line 2 and Worksheet II for more information.

3.Change in Use.—See the instructions for line 3 below.

First Retail Sale.—The first retail sale of a vehicle includes the use of a vehicle or the lease of a vehicle.

Adjusted Sales Price.—This is the price on which the first retail sale tax is based. Use Worksheet I to compute this amount.

Export.—The luxury tax does not apply to vehicles sold for export, provided proof of exportation is received by the seller within 6 months of the sale.

Imported Vehicles.—The luxury tax is imposed on the first retail sale or use of imported vehicles after importation.

Passenger Vehicles (IRS No. 92).—The tax is imposed on the first retail sale of any passenger vehicle of which the adjusted sales price exceeds $30,000. The tax generally applies to vehicles having an unloaded vehicle weight of 6,000 pounds or less. The tax applies to trucks and vans having a gross vehicle weight (the weight of the vehicle plus its maximum load) of 6,000 pounds or less. Limousines are taxable regardless of weight. The tax does not apply to taxicabs and other passenger vehicles used by the purchaser exclusively in the business of transporting persons or property for compensation or hire.

Line 1.—Use Worksheet I to compute the taxable adjusted sales price on the first retail sale of each luxury passenger vehicle.

6. Base amount

7.Taxable adjusted sales price. Subtract line 6 from line 5. If line 6 is greater than line 5, make no entry; the luxury tax does not apply to the vehicle. Add the amounts on line 7 of all Worksheets I for each passenger vehicle. Enter the total in Part II, line 1, of Form 8807 in column (a)

Line 2.—Use Worksheet II to compute the taxable amount of subsequent additions to passenger vehicles.

4.Add lines 1, 2a, and 3

5. Base amount

30,000

6.Subtract line 5 from line 4. If this amount is zero or less, there is no luxury tax on this vehicle and you do not have to complete line 7

7.Taxable amount of subsequent addition. Enter the smaller of line 1 or line 6. Add the amounts on line 7 of all Worksheets II for each passenger vehicle. Enter the total in Part II, line 2, column (a) of Form 8807

Line 3, Taxable FMV on the Change in Use of Passenger Vehicles.—The vehicle is subject to the luxury tax if, within 2 years after the first retail sale of a vehicle that is exempt from tax, there is a nonexempt resale, nonexempt re-lease, or substantial nonexempt use of the vehicle. Aircraft and boats purchased exempt from the luxury tax from January 1, 1991, to December 31, 1992, will not be subject to this tax if there is a taxable change in use after December 31, 1992. The tax is based on the FMV of the vehicle at the time of the nonexempt resale, nonexempt re-lease, or substantial nonexempt use. Enter on line 3 the FMV of a change-in-use vehicle that is in excess of $30,000. In the case of a resale or re-lease, the tax is paid by the seller or lessor of the vehicle. In the case of a substantial nonexempt use, the tax is paid by the owner or lessee of the vehicle.
