What is this bond?

The New York Cigarette Stamp Tax Credit (Individual) Bond is a financial guarantee required by the state for individuals operating as cigarette stamping agents. It ensures that the bonded agent will promptly pay all taxes due for purchasing cigarette tax stamps on credit.

Who needs it?

Individual cigarette agents and distributors operating in New York who wish to purchase cigarette tax stamps on credit typically need this bond. It allows these individuals to defer payment for the tax stamps rather than paying for them upfront.

Why is it required?

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance requires this bond to protect the state from financial loss if an agent fails to pay for tax stamps purchased on credit. It guarantees that the state will receive its owed tax revenue, as the surety company will cover the unpaid amounts up to the bond's limit.
