Liquor Tax Bond

Federal and/or State Laws require Alcohol Bonds to oversee the sale, manufacture, or warehousing of alcohol. And when referring to alcoholic beverages, the liquor tax bond is also called a ‘liquor bond’ or ‘intoxicating liquor bond.’

A Liquor Tax Bond is a bond required by local governments for any retail establishment participating in the sale, manufacturing, or warehousing of alcohol and alcoholic products. These bonds are usually rated on the financial strength of the entity applying for the bond. They protect the government from losses arising if/when the company, business, or individual maintains fraudulent records or is not able to pay on previously collected liquor tax funds.

Liquor Tax Bonds are also known as Alcoholic Beverage Excise Tax Bonds. Simply put, they guarantee that those selling liquor will collect the alcohol tax and properly report and forward to the State.
