What this bond does

The bond provides security for the sales and use tax obligation specified in the request. Keep the tax account and legal taxpayer clear so the bond can be prepared for the obligation the Comptroller is asking you to secure.

Who needs it
Maryland businesses with a sales or use tax bond request, rather than everyone registering a business or opening a tax account.
Who it protects
The recipient named in your Comptroller request receives the tax-payment security described in the bond. Your business remains responsible for its tax returns and payments.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Identify the account behind the notice

Maryland registration distinguishes sales and use tax accounts from withholding, admissions and amusement, and other business taxes. If you manage several accounts, use the one named in the bond request rather than a general business registration number alone.

One Propeller application is available here. The page does not set an amount or coverage period. Have the Comptroller's required form or wording available so you can check those details before completing the application.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Keep the actual bond request and any accompanying form available.
  2. Gather the legal taxpayer name, business address and sales or use tax account details.
  3. Note the requested security amount, effective date and recipient's exact name.

Questions about this bond

Does registering for Maryland sales tax mean I should buy this bond?

A tax registration and a bond request are separate matters. Use the written request to decide whether your account needs this security.

Can I use this for withholding or another Maryland tax account?

Do not assume a sales and use tax form covers another account. Compare the tax named in your notice with the application before proceeding.

What is the next step once my request matches?

Purchase Now takes you to Propeller in a new tab. Review the applicant, tax obligation, amount and dates there. Once a bond has been issued, complete the applicable signing steps and submit it as your Comptroller notice directs.
