What the tobacco tax bond actually covers
New Hampshire taxes tobacco products under RSA Chapter 78 and licenses wholesalers through the Department of Revenue Administration. A wholesaler that wants to buy tax stamps and tobacco products on a credit basis, rather than paying tax up front, posts a bond so the state is covered for the tax it carries on account.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: on the wholesaler's default, the surety pays the wholesaler's outstanding tobacco-tax debt to the state, up to the bond amount. It is filed on Form CD-18, the Tobacco Tax Credit Bond, alongside the financial statement and credit references the Department requires.
Because the amount tracks the credit limit you request, there is no single statutory figure — enter the amount on your application and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the form the Department names.
