The bond a New Jersey manufacturer, wholesaler, importer, or warehouse of alcoholic beverages files to guarantee the beverage tax it owes. The Division of Taxation sets the amount on form B-7-1800, payable to the State Treasurer — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard beverage tax bond — enter your amount, pay, and we mail the wet-ink original for filing. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the state required, your mailing address, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
This bond is filed as a wet-ink original — we mail it to your address; you sign it as principal and file it with the Division of Taxation. We also email you a copy for your records.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Division of Taxation notice and the premium updates.
New Jersey taxes alcoholic beverages under Title 33 (Intoxicating Liquors) and Subtitle 8 of Title 54 (Taxation), and the Division of Taxation requires a surety bond from businesses that sell, manufacture, import, or warehouse those beverages. The bond is payable to the State Treasurer and guarantees you file reports and pay the beverage tax on your sales and deliveries during the license period.
The Director of the Division of Taxation sets the amount for each licensee. By statute it cannot exceed three times the value of alcoholic beverages handled in a two-month period or $1 million, whichever is less, with a $100 statutory minimum — most operators land well under the cap.
If you fail to remit the tax, the State can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Division set, on form B-7-1800, at a flat 3% with no credit check. Because the state wants the original, this bond is mailed to you for a wet-ink signature.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Division of Taxation set — the executed bond is generated instantly and mailed to you for a wet-ink signature.
