The blanket bond a contractor files with the Mississippi Department of Revenue, guaranteeing the sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special (diesel) fuel taxes due on its Mississippi contracts. Filed on Form 72-442 under Miss. Code §27-65-21 — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard contractor tax bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Department of Revenue. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the Department required, and the effective date — that is the entire application. The bond’s effective date must precede the start of the contracts it covers.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed blanket bond (Form 72-442) to the Mississippi Department of Revenue. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the Department requires and the premium updates.
Mississippi taxes construction contracting under the Sales Tax Law. Under Miss. Code §27-65-21, the prime contractor on a taxable contract must guarantee the taxes due — and a contractor domiciled outside Mississippi must either post a surety bond or prepay the tax before starting work. The bond covers sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special (diesel) fuel taxes on the contract.
Rather than bond each job separately, a contractor can file a blanket bond on Form 72-442. It is written in an amount large enough to cover the aggregate tax liability on all contracts outstanding at any one time — the Department of Revenue’s guidance uses a factor of at least 4% of that aggregate contract value. The blanket bond’s effective date must precede the start of the contracts it covers.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the Department on unremitted contract tax, you repay the surety. Confirm the exact required amount with the Department of Revenue — enter it and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Department of Revenue requires — the executed blanket bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
