What it is and who needs it.
What the withholding tax bond actually covers
Mississippi employers withhold state income tax from employee paychecks and remit it to the Department of Revenue. To make sure that withheld money actually reaches the state, DOR can require an employer to post a bond as security for its withholding account.
Under the withholding-of-tax provisions of the Mississippi Code (chapter 27-7, article 3), the security is commonly set at twice the estimated tax liability for a three-month period. This requirement is most often applied to employee leasing companies and to employers DOR considers a collection risk — many ordinary employers never post one.
The bond stands behind the withheld tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Department of Revenue (the obligee). If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount DOR required and pricing starts from $125; no credit check up to $10,000, and pricing is 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, with a $125 minimum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Revenue. Submit the executed bond with your withholding account to satisfy the Department of Revenue. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the department insists.
