What this bond does
This application is for surety security supporting the sales tax payment obligation in your request. Your retail license, tax returns and tax payments remain separate from applying for the bond.
- Who needs it
- Retailers and other businesses specifically asked for sales tax bond security by the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
- Who it protects
- The bond provides security to the tax recipient named in the required form. It does not protect the retailer against ordinary business losses or pay its ongoing tax bills.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does getting a Retail License automatically require this bond?
This page does not establish that every Retail License holder needs a bond. Use the Department's specific security request for your business.
Will one application cover every store I operate?
Check the account and locations named in the request. Do not assume the scope of your tax reporting arrangement also determines the scope of the bond.
How do I move forward when the details match?
Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Complete the application for the named taxpayer and review its form, amount and dates. Once issued, follow the Department's execution and delivery instructions; applying for a bond does not issue your Retail License.
