What is a Tobacco Tax Bond?
You are required to obtain a surety bond to sell tobacco, which protects the public. If you do not pay the required taxes on the tobacco you sell to the government, a claim can be filed on your bond. For example, if you own a store that sells cigarettes, but don't pay the required government taxes, a claim can be filed on your bond.
