Get to know what these surety bonds are for today!

These surety bonds are for registered retailers, permitted wholesalers, or distributors who wish to pay for their tobacco or playing cards revenue stamps using a company check instead of certified funds or cash.

 

For the Tobacco Tax Bond, a number of stamps to be paid should be less than $750 for the person to be allowed to use a company check as the mode of payment. Payments that are more than $750 should be done via an Electronic Funds Transfer.

 

The surety bond will serve as a guarantee that the bank where the check has been drawn will make prompt payment for the amount owed.

 

The surety bond prerequisite is enforced by the Alabama Department of Revenue in line with Sections 40-25-1 until 40-25-29, as well as Section 40-12-144 of the Code of Alabama.
