About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tobacco tax bond actually covers

Oregon licenses distributors of cigarettes and other tobacco products through the Department of Revenue. Under ORS 323.110, the Department may require a distributor (or applicant) to deposit security — most often a surety bond — to guarantee the tax it collects and owes.

The bond is payable to the State of Oregon through its Department of Revenue and conditioned on payment of all taxes, penalties, and other obligations of the distributor. By statute, the amount of security may not exceed twice the estimated average monthly tax liability shown in your monthly reports.

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 Department set, priced from $100 with no credit fields in the application, on the bond form the Department names.

ORS 323.110ORS 323.110 lets the Department of Revenue require a cigarette or tobacco products distributor to deposit security, in an amount not greater than twice the estimated average monthly liability shown in the monthly reports. The security may be a surety bond payable to the State of Oregon through the Department of Revenue, conditioned on payment of all taxes, penalties, and other obligations of the distributor. Confirm your required amount on your Department of Revenue notice.
