What it is and who needs it.
What the sales tax bond actually covers
South Carolina retailers collect and remit sales and use tax under S.C. Code Title 12, Chapter 36 and hold a retail license issued by the Department of Revenue. Most retailers never post a bond — but the Department can require one as security for the tax a retailer collects.
A bond is typically required from a new retailer with no filing history, a business reinstating after delinquency, or a seasonal or out-of-state retailer the Department wants secured. When required, the amount is set by the Department case by case, generally from your expected sales tax liability — there is no single statutory figure.
The bond stands behind the sales tax you collect on the State’s behalf — if you fail to remit, the Department can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
