What it is and who needs it.
What the malt beverage bond actually covers
Virginia imposes an excise tax on beer and malt beverages, and the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Authority requires every manufacturer, bottler, and wholesaler to bond that tax. The bond is conditioned on payment of the excise tax imposed by § 4.1-236 and runs to the benefit of the Commonwealth.
Under Code of Virginia § 4.1-238, the bond amount is proportioned to your volume of business, but never less than $1,000 or more than $100,000. Licensees file monthly reports of the beer they manufactured, bottled, or sold, and the tax due — the bond stands behind that obligation.
If you fail to remit the beer excise tax, the ABC Authority can recover against the bond. Enter the amount ABC set for your volume; pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount — and if the surety ever pays, you repay the surety.
