The IRS collects various taxes on behalf of the Highway Trust Fund.  These taxes can only be withdrawn as authorized by DOT appropriations.  Treasury estimates the amount collected/revenue recognized, and adjusts such estimates for actual quarterly collections. The IRS submits certificates of actual tax collections to FHWA six months after the quarter end and, accordingly, the HTF financial statements are adjusted to reflect such actual amounts at that time. Accordingly, total tax revenue recognized for the year ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 includes the Office of Tax Analysis (OTA) estimates of $9.0 billion at June 30, 2004 and $8.7 billion at September 30, 2004 and $9.2 billion at September 30, 2003.

FHWA management does not believe that the actual tax collections for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 will be materially different than the OTA estimate of such collections for those quarters.

The IRS collects various excise taxes on behalf of FAA's Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF). These taxes can only be withdrawn as authorized by FAA appropriations. Twice a month, U.S. Treasury estimates the amounts collected, and adjusts the estimates by actual collections quarterly. Accordingly, the total taxes recognized in FY 2004 included OTA's estimate of $4.7 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. Total taxes recognized in FY 2003 included OTA's estimate of $2.9 billion for the quarter ending September 30, 2003.

FAA has been informed by the IRS that the estimated excise tax collections and the amount credited to the AATF for the benefit of the FAA, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, may be understated by as much as $275 million. FAA has not recognized the potential understatement of $275 million since it is not enforceable until certified by the IRS. Therefore this represents a potential gain contingency at September 30, 2004. The estimated taxes and deposits to AATF will be adjusted to equal actual tax collections in December 2004.
