$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, but our floor is $275, so this bond is $275 flat per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Indiana taxes electronic cigarettes and vapor products under IC 6-7-4, administered by the Department of Revenue (DOR). A distributor or seller must hold a tax registration certificate to sell, distribute, or wholesale these products — and the DOR conditions that certificate on a $1,000 surety bond.
The bond guarantees payment of the excise tax owed on the vapor products the registrant handles. It is a financial guarantee to the state that you will accurately report and remit the e-cigarette tax — a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the Department of Revenue (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays unremitted tax, you repay the surety. The $1,000 bond is among the smallest tax bonds we write; it must stay on file for as long as your registration is active.
