What this bond does

Match the State Tax Department's cigarette-agent security request under section 472 of the Tax Law. Approval to buy stamps on credit is separate from paying for the bond.

Who needs it
Individuals responding to New York State cigarette-agent/stamp-credit security requirements. A wholesale-dealer license alone does not establish the agent's credit authorization.
Who it protects
When required, section 472 security covers payment of any sums due from the agent under Article 20. The protected obligation is New York State's cigarette-tax revenue, not a guarantee of the individual's business debts.

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.

Details for individual State stamp-credit security

The Commissioner may require a bond from an approved State-authorized surety, or other acceptable security, and fixes the sum. Section 472 permits, rather than guarantees, payment for stamps within thirty days after purchase. Obtain the actual assigned amount and approved credit terms before selecting dates or assuming a purchasing limit.

Keep the individual, trade name and State agent account consistent with the request. An owner signing for a corporation does not make that corporation's obligation an individual-principal bond.

State wholesale licensing and New York City's stamp-credit bond have different conditions. If the request comes from City Finance, obtain its named instrument and filing directions; this State credit application does not establish the City's required security.

Use the accepted State instrument and its actual signatures/authority, period, continuation and filing directions. Neither the statute's maximum credit period nor an application's payment date supplies a universal bond-expiration date.

Purchase Now opens Propeller's New York individual application in a new tab. Match the legal individual, State agent account, required sum and accepted dates, then file the issued security with the State Tax Department. Provider payment does not license the agent or approve thirty days of credit.

Questions about this bond

Does buying the bond guarantee thirty days of credit?

Section 472 permits discretionary credit for no more than thirty days. Actual State approval and purchasing terms remain separate.

Can a corporate owner choose the individual application?

Match the legal principal. An owner signing for a corporation does not turn the corporation's tax obligation into an individual-principal bond.

Can I use the City's stamp-credit notice terms?

This is the State cigarette-agent request. The City's separately named obligation does not establish the State instrument's recipient, period or execution.
