What is a New York Alcohol Distributor Bond?

A quick guide to this essential requirement for alcohol distributors in New York!

You need this surety bond if you:

  • Import liquors into New York for sale or use within the state
  • Purchase warehouse receipts for liquors stored inside a warehouse and causes them to be removed
  • Manufactures, mixes, distills, compounds, or ferments any liquors in New York for sale

Every alcohol distributor is required to register with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. A surety bond is one of the most important requirements for the said registration.

 

The Tax Commission requires alcohol distributors to submit a surety bond to ensure that the registered alcohol distributor will pay the necessary amount of taxes due, or if the registrant defaults on the said obligation.

 

When the latter happens, the Obligee will be able to recover the amount through the surety bond as mandated by Section 422 of the New York Consolidated Laws.


What is the Alcohol Distributor Bond amount?

The bond amount will vary per alcohol distributor and will be determined by the Tax Commission.
