What is this bond?

The Indiana Cigarette Tax Stamps Payment bond is a financial guarantee required by the state for distributors who purchase cigarette tax stamps on credit. It ensures that the bonded principal will remit full and timely payment for all tax stamps purchased. If the distributor defaults on their payments, the bond protects the state from lost tax revenue.

Who needs it?

Cigarette distributors and wholesalers operating in Indiana who wish to purchase cigarette tax stamps on a deferred payment basis typically need this bond. Businesses that choose to pay for stamps upfront may not require it. You should always verify your specific bonding requirements directly with the Indiana Department of Revenue.

Why is it required?

The Indiana Department of Revenue requires this bond to safeguard the state's tax revenue. It provides a reliable mechanism for the state to recover funds if a distributor fails to pay for the tax stamps they acquired on credit. Ultimately, it ensures financial compliance with state tax regulations and protects public funds.
