IL boxing tax bonds.
$100 flat.

Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. This is one of two bonds promoters usually carry; the other is the $10,000 performance bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Illinois licenses boxing and full-contact martial arts promoters through the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, advised by the State Athletic Board, under the Boxing and Full-contact Martial Arts Act (225 ILCS 105). Promoters typically post two bonds — a $5,000 tax bond and a $10,000 performance bond.
This is the $5,000 tax bond. It is payable to the Department and conditioned on payment of the tax imposed by the Act and compliance with it — Illinois taxes gross receipts of sanctioned contests, and the bond guarantees the promoter remits what is owed.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim — for example, unremitted tax — you repay the surety. Promoters who file and pay on time treat the bond as a licensing formality, and we keep the $5,000 filing continuous for your term.
