What is a Missouri Transient Employer Bond?

If you’re an employer who is not a resident of Missouri, but…

  • Pays wages taxable under the Missouri Income Tax Law, the Workers’ Compensation Law, and the Missouri Employment Security Law
  • Transacts business within Missouri temporarily or less than 24 consecutive months

You need this surety bond!

A Missouri Transient Employer Bond is required of transient employers to guarantee that the said person will promptly file accurate reports and pay any taxes due to the Missouri Department of Revenue.

 

If the transient employer defaults on the obligations, the Missouri Department of Revenue will be eligible for financial compensation up to the penal sum of the surety bond.

 

The surety bond requirement is in strict compliance with Section 285.230.1 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

 

What is the Transient Employer Bond amount?

The bond amount will be on a case-by-case basis. It will be determined by the Director of Revenue and will be based on the transient employer’s average estimated quarterly withholding tax liability.

  • $5,000 – minimum bond amount
  • $25,000 – maximum bond amount

Those who have excellent credit scores will be eligible to pay for a very low bond premium or just 1% of the bond’s amount!
