What this bond does
The tobacco tax bond supports a wholesale dealer's obligations to the Louisiana Department of Revenue. It concerns tax security, separate from the permits and operational approvals needed to sell tobacco products.
- Who needs it
- Registered wholesale tobacco dealers arranging the security required by the Louisiana Department of Revenue.
- Who it protects
- The R-10100 undertaking runs to the Secretary of Revenue and covers taxes, penalties, interest and costs under the Louisiana Tobacco Tax Law, together with faithful performance of that Law's conditions and requirements. The principal and surety bind themselves jointly and severally; this is not protection against the dealer's own business losses.
