Oregon — Other Tobacco Products Tax Bond

Apply for Oregon's other-tobacco distributor license before guessing a bond amount. Revenue says it contacts applicants during review to set the required security; the cigarette-stamp license and a retailer-only license are different roles.

What this bond does

Form 150-605-001 supports one or more other-tobacco distributor licenses under ORS 323.525. Revenue fixes the security needed for tax-law compliance within the statute's applicable limits.

Who needs it
Distributors bringing untaxed tobacco products into Oregon for resale, and businesses whose actual activity requires that distributor license. A retailer buying untaxed products for resale must address distributor licensing rather than relying only on retail credentials.
Who it protects
The model binds principal and authorized surety jointly and severally to Oregon. It requires the principal and all its agents and employees faithfully to comply with the Tobacco Products Tax statutes and corrective or supplementary acts, together with the cited surety provisions. Its protection is state-law compliance, not insurance for stock or customers.

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 Oregon distributor security

Revenue's application process uses Revenue Online. Supply the requested supplier and manufacturer information and identify each business location requiring a distributor license. The bond model can name one or more licenses; do not assume that removes the separate-location licensing requirement.

ORS 323.525 lets Revenue require security necessary for compliance. Its ordinary ceiling is twice estimated tax liability for the reporting period. The special ceiling for someone appealing suspension or revocation is twice that period's tax liability or $10,000, whichever is greater. Those are different limits, not a universal $10,000 required bond.

The department may increase or decrease the sum within the applicable limits. Obtain its actual request during application review and match the approved principal, licenses, amount and effective date rather than converting a tax estimate into an unapproved order.

The model is continuous. Surety withdrawal is effective on the first day of the next calendar month if Revenue receives notice on or before the fifteenth; notice received later takes effect on the first day of the second calendar month. This is not a flat thirty- or sixty-day cancellation clock.

Withdrawal preserves obligations incurred before its effective date regardless of when the tax payment becomes due. Complete the principal and surety signature, title and contact fields and use current Revenue filing instructions. The model does not itself add a notary acknowledgment.

Questions about this bond

Must every applicant buy a $10,000 bond?

No. Revenue sets the required amount. The $10,000 comparison belongs to the special statutory limit for an appeal of license suspension or revocation, not a universal initial amount.

Is the bond automatically renewed each year?

The posted model is continuous until terminated as provided. Keep the issued instrument and Revenue's accepted terms separate from assumptions about an annual license or quoted purchase term.

How does the fifteenth-day notice cutoff work?

Receipt on or before the fifteenth makes withdrawal effective on the first of the next month; later receipt moves it to the first of the second month. Earlier obligations remain covered even when their tax due date falls later.
