NY cigarette stamp tax credit bond.
Corporation. 3% flat.
The bond a licensed cigarette agent files with the Department of Taxation and Finance to buy tax stamps on credit instead of paying cash up front. The penal sum is the credit line the department grants you — priced at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, issued the same day. This is the corporation version.

What it is and who needs it.
What the cigarette stamp credit bond actually covers
New York taxes cigarettes by way of stamps that licensed agents affix to each pack. Normally an agent pays for those stamps in cash at the time of purchase. Under Tax Law Article 20, the Department of Taxation and Finance may instead let an agent buy stamps on credit — paying within 30 days — provided the agent files a credit bond securing that balance.
The penal sum is not fixed by statute. It is the credit line the department sanctions for your account, set to cover the stamp tax you may owe at any one time. If the department raises your credit line, it can require the bond amount to rise with it — enter whatever figure your account currently carries.
Because this is a statutory financial-guarantee bond on our form, it is instant-issue: no financial statements, no credit check, no underwriter queue. You apply, pay 3% ($275 minimum), and file the executed bond with Tax & Finance the same day. This is the version for a corporation.
