What this bond does

This bond provides surety security for the sales and use tax obligation in the Department's request. Missouri's guidance identifies Form 331 for surety bonds and distinguishes it from cash and other forms of security.

Who needs it
Businesses asked by the Missouri Department of Revenue to provide a sales or use tax bond, rather than every business registering for tax.
Who it protects
The security supports the tax obligation to the Missouri Department of Revenue. Your business continues to handle 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.

Choose the surety process for your tax request

Missouri's bond information covers sales and use tax security alongside transient employer security. The presence of both on the same information sheet does not make them the same obligation. Use the sales or use tax request for this application.

There is one Propeller application here and no displayed amount or term. Before applying, gather the owner, partners or legal entity name required for the bond. The issued surety documents come later; you do not need a completed Form 331 or a surety power of attorney to begin.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have the Department's sales or use tax bond request and required amount available.

  3. Identify the requested effective date and person who can sign for the business.

Questions about this bond

Do I need a bond for every Missouri sales tax registration?

The Department's bond information says sales and use tax bonds are only required if requested by the Department of Revenue. Follow the request for your account.

Can this application post a cash bond?

This route is for a surety bond. Missouri describes cash and other security separately; choose the process that matches the form of security you intend to provide.

What happens after I apply?

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. After issuance, check the applicant, amount and effective date. Missouri's guidance calls for the original surety bond on the Department's form with a valid surety power of attorney. Complete the required signatures and deliver the documents as the Department directs.
