What it is and who needs it.
What the beer tax bond actually covers
Louisiana levies an excise tax on beer and other alcoholic beverages, collected from the wholesale dealer who first handles and distributes them in the state. Under R.S. 26:348, every manufacturer or wholesaler must file a bond with the Department of Revenue before commencing business, guaranteeing payment of all taxes and penalties.
The bond is filed on form R-10200 (beer) and the related alcoholic-beverage form, in a minimum amount of $10,000 for each type of permit held. The secretary may set a higher amount in his discretion, and a certificate of deposit or letter of credit assigned to the secretary is an accepted alternative to a surety bond.
The bond stands behind the excise tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. Whatever amount applies to your permit, pricing starts from $100 and no credit check up to $10,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Revenue. Submit the executed bond on form R-10200 with your wholesale alcohol permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
