What it is and who needs it.
What the OTP tax bond actually covers
Missouri taxes tobacco products other than cigarettes — cigars, smokeless, pipe tobacco, and the like — and licenses the wholesalers who make the first sale of them in the state. Under §149.035 RSMo, a person making a first sale must file a bond with the Department of Revenue guaranteeing the tax.
The instrument can be a cash bond, surety bond, letter of credit, or other approved security, in an amount equal to three times the average tax liability — estimated for a new applicant — with a $500 statutory minimum. If the Director later deems the amount insufficient, the bond can be adjusted upward to cover the liability.
The bond stands behind the OTP tax you collect or owe; if you fail to remit, the state recovers against it. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
