GA malt beverage tax bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Georgia conditions a malt-beverage license — importer, wholesaler, or brewpub — on a fixed $5,000 performance and tax bond filed with the Department of Revenue. Ours is $275 flat — the minimum, since 3% of $5,000 is below it — and the application is five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia conditions malt-beverage licenses — importers, wholesalers, and brewpubs — on a $5,000 performance and tax liability bond posted with the Commissioner through the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division. The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your timely remittance of the taxes due on malt-beverage sales.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia through the Department of Revenue (the obligee). If a licensee fails to remit malt-beverage taxes or otherwise violates the code, the state can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Under the statute the bond can run up to several years; we track yours and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses.
