What it is and who needs it.
What the sales tax bond actually covers
Wisconsin sellers collect sales and use tax from customers and remit it to the Department of Revenue. Most sellers never post a bond. But under Wis. Stat. § 77.61(2), the Department may require any person who is or will be liable for the tax to place security — before or after a seller's permit is issued.
When required, the security can be a surety bond, in the amount the Department determines, not to exceed $15,000. The bond stands behind the tax you collect: if you fail to remit, the Department can recover the delinquent tax against the security. This typically comes up for a new business, or after a filing or payment problem.
If a person required to post security fails to do so, the Department can refuse to issue or can revoke the seller's permit. We issue the amount DOR set, at a flat 3% with no credit check — a surety bond is usually cheaper than tying up the full amount in a cash deposit.
