About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wine-tax bond actually covers

Idaho imposes a wine excise tax under Idaho Code §23-1319, collected through the State Tax Commission. A winery or distributor that sells wine for use or consumption in Idaho owes that tax, and the bond guarantees that the principal pays all tax due — plus any penalties and interest — if the business fails to remit.

The bond amount is generally set at about three times the average monthly wine-tax liability, with a $1,000 minimum bond for a new business. It applies to wineries selling at wholesale, wineries shipping direct to Idaho residents, and wine distributors.

If a permit holder fails to remit, the Commission can recover the tax, penalties, and interest from the surety up to the penal sum — and if the surety pays, the principal repays the surety. We issue the amount the Commission set, with premiums priced at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
