Why Do I need an Alcohol Tax Bond?
The state of California requires sellers of alcohol to have a bond. You may find out more about this requirement at the California Board of Equalization. In the case of alcohol tax bonds, the bond guarantees the payment of taxes for alcohol wholesalers, vendors, or dealers. If a seller of alcohol commits fraud by misrepresenting his or her tax amounts on alcohol sales, then the state of California can cash out on the surety bond. This is also known as a “claim.”
In short, tax bonds protect the state from alcohol tax fraud. They also provide a safety net for the wholesaler or dealer; if they get in tax trouble, they will not be left holding the bag and their surety bond will pay out the damages until being reimbursed by the business.
