What is this bond?

A Tennessee Tobacco Affixing Agent bond is a type of financial guarantee required by the state for businesses authorized to apply tax stamps to tobacco products. It guarantees that the agent will truthfully report sales and remit all applicable taxes, penalties, and interest owed to the state.

Who needs it?

Wholesale tobacco dealers, distributors, or any business entity acting as an authorized agent to purchase and affix Tennessee tobacco tax stamps typically need this bond. If you handle unstamped tobacco products and are responsible for taxing them, you will likely need this coverage.

Why is it required?

The Tennessee Department of Revenue requires this bond to protect the state's tax revenue. If an affixing agent fails to pay required tobacco taxes or violates reporting rules, the bond provides a mechanism for the state to recover its financial losses.
