If your business collects and remits sales tax, chances are you are required by law to secure a Sales Tax Bond to operate legally and protect the public interest.

What Is a Sales Tax Bond?

A Sales Tax Bond is a type of surety bond required by state governments as a guarantee that your business will collect, report, and remit sales taxes according to applicable laws and deadlines. The bond acts as a financial safeguard that protects the state in the event a business fails to pay collected taxes or commits tax fraud. Sales Tax Bonds are especially common for retail businesses, wholesalers, distributors, online sellers, fuel companies, and alcohol or tobacco merchants.

Why Are Sales Tax Bonds Required?

States use Sales Tax Bonds to ensure tax compliance from licensed sellers and to protect state revenues. If a business fails to pay its collected sales tax, the state can file a claim against the Sales Tax Bond to recover the unpaid amount. Without this bond in place, the state would have to engage in lengthy and costly legal actions. Sales Tax Bonds provide assurance that businesses will operate with integrity and accountability when handling public funds.

Who Needs a Sales Tax Bond?

Any business that collects sales tax on behalf of a state government may be required to post a Sales Tax Bond. This includes:

• Retail stores and chains
• Gas stations and fuel distributors
• Liquor stores and tobacco shops
• Automotive dealerships
• Online retailers
• Wholesalers and importers

Requirements vary by state and industry, but Blaikie Group can help you determine if a Sales Tax Bond is required for your license and how much bond coverage you need.

How Much Does a Sales Tax Bond Cost?

The cost of a Sales Tax Bond depends on the bond amount required by your state and your financial profile. Most states calculate the bond requirement based on your anticipated or average monthly sales tax liability. Typically, the premium you pay for the bond is a small percentage of the bond amount — usually between 1% and 5% for qualified applicants.
