Missouri licenses businesses that sell, manufacture, import, or warehouse alcohol through the Department of Public Safety's Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control. Under RSMo 311.181, the license is conditioned on a tax bond that guarantees the intoxicating liquor, wine, and 5% beer taxes the business owes the state.
The bond is filed on the Division's corporate bond form, executed by the surety and signed by the owner, partners, or managing officer. The amount is set by the Division based on your expected tax liability, and the statutory minimum is generally $1,000 — many licensees are written above that depending on volume.
Because alcohol tax bonds run on a statutory cycle, this bond renews on a June 30 schedule and your term is set accordingly. If you fail to remit the taxes you collect, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Division set at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Division of ATC set — the executed corporate bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your license.
