What is this bond?

A Mississippi Sales Tax Bond is a financial guarantee required by the state to ensure businesses remit collected sales taxes in full and on time. It protects the state's revenue by holding the business owner accountable for proper tax reporting and payment. If a business fails to pay its sales tax obligations, a claim can be filed against the bond to recover the owed funds.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for certain businesses selling taxable goods or services within the state of Mississippi. The Mississippi Department of Revenue determines which specific businesses, such as certain retailers or out-of-state contractors, must post this bond before receiving a permit. Requirements vary, so businesses must check with the state to confirm if they need one.

Why is it required?

The Mississippi Department of Revenue requires this bond to protect the state against financial loss due to unpaid taxes. Because businesses collect sales tax on behalf of the state, the bond acts as a safeguard against fraud, mismanagement, or default. If the business fails to remit the collected taxes, the bond ensures the state can still recover the owed revenue.

  • ⚠Entering incorrect business entity names or tax identification numbers on the bond application.
  • ⚠Believing the bond acts as traditional insurance for the business, rather than a guarantee protecting the state.
