GA subcontractor sales & use tax bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
A subcontractor can post a sales and use tax bond with the Georgia Department of Revenue under O.C.G.A. 48-8-63 so the prime contractor releases payments in full instead of withholding tax. The amount runs $5,000 to $50,000; we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the subcontractor bond covers
On a Georgia construction job, a prime or general contractor may have to withhold a portion of a subcontractor's payments as security for the sub's sales and use tax. Under O.C.G.A. 48-8-63, the sub can avoid that withholding by posting a sales and use tax bond directly with the Commissioner.
The bond is in an amount not less than $5,000 nor more than $50,000, as the Commissioner determines from the subcontractor's projected yearly gross receipts, conditioned that all sales and use taxes are paid when due. The annual bond runs the calendar year and expires December 31.
If the tax goes unpaid, the state recovers against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Commissioner set at a flat 3% with a soft pull only, which never affects your score.
