What the sales tax bond actually covers
A Maryland vendor collects sales and use tax from customers and remits it to the Comptroller of Maryland. Most vendors are never asked for a bond — but the Comptroller has authority to require security for the tax when a vendor’s account warrants it.
A bond is typically required of a new, seasonal, or previously delinquent vendor — the Comptroller sets the amount to your expected or past tax exposure and names it on your notice. The bond guarantees that you file your returns and pay the sales and use tax when it becomes due.
It stands behind the tax you collect on the state’s behalf — if you fail to remit, the Comptroller can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Comptroller set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
