What this bond does
The sales tax surety bond provides security for the tax reporting and payment duties described in the Department's form. It addresses your business's sales tax obligation even when the business sells products that also have separate licensing or tax requirements.
- Who needs it
- Alabama businesses responding to a Department of Revenue sales tax bond request. The Department's S&U: BOND form specifically describes retailers of beer, wine or tobacco products.
- Who it protects
- The State of Alabama is the obligee on the sales tax form. The security supports the covered tax obligation and does not grant permission to sell regulated products.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does every Alabama retailer need this bond?
Use the Department's requirement for your business. The sales tax bond form cited here describes a particular retail activity; it is not evidence of a universal bond requirement for Alabama stores.
Does this bond replace my alcohol or tobacco licensing paperwork?
Keep those obligations separate. This application concerns sales tax security and does not issue a product license or satisfy a different tax bond request.
