About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the blanket tax bond actually covers

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 pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with the application collecting no credit information.

Miss. Code §27-65-21 (DOR Form 72-442, blanket bond)Under Miss. Code §27-65-21, the prime contractor on a taxable Mississippi construction contract must guarantee the sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special (diesel) fuel taxes due; a contractor domiciled outside Mississippi must post a surety bond or prepay the tax before commencing work. A blanket bond (DOR Form 72-442) may be filed in an amount sufficient — generally using a factor of at least 4% — to cover the aggregate tax liability on all contracts outstanding at one time, with an effective date prior to those contracts. Confirm the required amount with the Department of Revenue.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Mississippi contractor tax bond?Our premium is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The bond amount itself is set by the Department of Revenue — for a blanket bond, generally at least 4% of the aggregate value of contracts outstanding at any one time. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.

Who has to file this bond?Chiefly the prime contractor on a taxable Mississippi contract who is domiciled outside the state — under Miss. Code §27-65-21, you either post a bond or prepay the sales and use tax before commencing work. It guarantees sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special fuel taxes.

What is a “blanket” bond?Instead of bonding each contract separately, a blanket bond (Form 72-442) covers the aggregate tax liability on all your Mississippi contracts outstanding at one time. Its effective date must precede the start of the contracts it covers.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a larger bond amount, it is a soft pull only — it never affects your credit score.

Where do I file it?With the Mississippi Department of Revenue, on Form 72-442. We issue the executed blanket bond ready to submit; wet-ink originals are mailed when the Department requires them.
