About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the malt beverage bond covers

Georgia licenses malt beverage wholesalers through the Department of Revenue Alcohol & Tobacco Division, and conditions the license on a performance and tax liability bond under O.C.G.A. 3-5-25.1. Unlike the fixed distilled spirits bond, the malt beverage wholesaler bond amount is set by the Department based on your tax liability.

The bond guarantees prompt payment of the excise taxes, license fees, penalties, and interest you owe on the malt beverages you distribute, running to the benefit of the State Revenue Commissioner. If a wholesaler fails to remit, the state can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount the Department of Revenue names, at 1% of the bond amount ($100 minimum) with no credit section in the application.
