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 we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

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.
