What it is and who needs it.
What the food and beverage tax bond covers
The City of Hampton imposes a food and beverage (meals) tax on prepared food and drink sold by restaurants and similar establishments. The restaurant collects the tax from customers and remits it to the City — meaning it is holding the City's money in trust between collection and remittance.
To protect that revenue, the Hampton Commissioner of the Revenue can require a meals-tax collector to post a bond as a financial guarantee — most often for newer establishments, or after a late or missed remittance. The amount is generally tied to your expected monthly meals-tax collections.
The bond stands behind the meals tax you collect — if you fail to remit it, the City can recover against the bond. We issue the amount the City sets; premiums start from $100, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount. It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
