IN alcoholic beverage bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Indiana requires vintners, brewers, distillers, liquor wholesalers, and rectifiers to file a surety bond before a permit issues, securing the alcohol excise tax. The Alcohol and Tobacco Commission sets the amount — commonly $1,000, $10,000, or $15,000 by classification. We issue it at a flat 3% with a $275 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the alcohol bond actually covers
Indiana licenses alcohol manufacturers and wholesalers through the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission under Title 7.1. Before a permit issues, a vintner, brewer, distiller, liquor wholesaler, or rectifier must file a surety bond securing the alcohol excise tax payable to the State.
The amount is set by license classification — commonly $1,000, $10,000, or $15,000. For certain out-of-state brewers and importers, the penal sum equals the average monthly excise tax liability for the previous year. Confirm the figure that applies to your permit type.
It is not insurance for you. If you fail to pay the excise tax, the state can recover against the bond, and you repay the surety. The Commission may revoke a permit for failing to keep the bond in force — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration. We issue the amount required at a flat 3% with a $275 minimum.
