What Does the Surety Bond Do?

A Georgia Liquor Broker Tax Bond serves two main purposes:

1. Protects the State: It acts as a financial guarantee for the State of Georgia. If a licensed liquor broker fails to comply with state laws, regulations, or tax obligations related to alcohol sales, the state can claim against the bond to recoup any losses. This includes:
   • Unpaid taxes, license fees, and rental charges
   • Penalties and interest
2. Ensures Responsible Conduct: By requiring the bond, the state discourages brokers from engaging in illegal or unethical practices. The knowledge that financial repercussions exist through the bond encourages brokers to operate responsibly and adhere to regulations.

If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal (licensee).
