What it is and who needs it.
What the wine and liquor tax bond covers
Maryland taxes alcoholic beverages at the manufacturer and wholesaler level, and the Comptroller collects that tax. A licensed manufacturer or wholesaler deposits a tax bond with the Comptroller as security that the wine and liquor tax it collects or owes will actually be remitted.
The bond is given under Tax-General Article §13-825, the general provision authorizing the Comptroller to require a bond from a person responsible for a State tax. It is separate from the alcohol license itself — the license grants the right to sell; the bond backs the tax.
The bond stands behind the tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the Comptroller can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The Comptroller sets the penal sum based on your expected liability; enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
