What it is and who needs it.
What the alcohol tax bond actually covers
Oklahoma licenses alcohol businesses through the ABLE Commission, but the excise tax is collected by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Under 37A O.S. § 5-124, a manufacturer, brewer, importer, broker, wholesaler, or beer distributor must file a surety bond with the Tax Commission to secure payment of the excise tax due on alcoholic beverages.
The Commission fixes the amount, which must be at least equal to the estimated tax liability for a three-month period. For wholesalers and beer distributors, the bond is not less than $1,000. The bond is payable to the State of Oklahoma and conditioned on compliance with the excise tax provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.
In lieu of a surety bond, a licensee may deposit cash or approved securities — but a surety bond is usually the cheapest path, since you pay a premium rather than tying up the full amount. We issue the amount the Tax Commission set, with pricing at 1% of that amount and a $100 minimum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Tax Commission. Submit the executed bond to the Oklahoma Tax Commission to secure your alcohol excise tax. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
