The performance and tax liability bond a Georgia malt beverage wholesaler files with the Department of Revenue Alcohol & Tobacco Division under O.C.G.A. 3-5-25.1. The Department sets the amount; the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard malt beverage tax bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Department of Revenue. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the Department of Revenue set, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Most applications approve instantly; if a check runs on a larger amount, it’s a quick soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your malt beverage wholesaler license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Department of Revenue set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
