What is a Minnesota Alcohol Tax Bond? 

Whether you are an owner of a brewery, winery, distillery; applying for an on-premise license or an off-premise license; a beer wholesaler or a wine distributor in Minnesota, the Alcohol, Tobacco, Tax, and Trade Bureau requires you to furnish a surety bond.

 

The bond is created to ensure the following:

  • That the license applicant will pay the right amount of taxes
  • That the license applicant will strictly comply with all regulatory and legal requirements of the business of selling alcoholic beverages in Montana.

The Alcohol Tax Bond is a contract between the following parties:

Principal – the person who will sell, manufacture, import, export, distribute the alcoholic beverages in Montana.

Obligee – the organization or government unit requiring the bond

Surety – the surety bond company that will act as a guarantor for the principal’s compliance with the bond conditions

 

The Alcohol Tax Bond is also known by other names.  This can either be specific to the state or the type of alcoholic beverage. Here are some examples:

  • Liquor Bond
  • Alcoholic Beverage Tax Bond
  • Liquor Tax Bond
  • Beverage Tax Bond
  • Brewer’s Bond
  • Distilled Spirits License Bond
  • Liquor License Bond
  • Malt Beverage License Bond
  • Wine Bond
  • Liquor Drink Tax Bond

 

Alcohol Tax Bond by State 

Since each state – in addition to federal laws - has the power to regulate the distribution, manufacturing, or selling of alcoholic beverages within its jurisdiction, the obligations per alcohol tax bond, and the amount will vary.

 

Some states have stricter alcohol tax bond requirements than others.
