Kansas requires every on-premise liquor drink licensee to post a liquor drink tax bond under K.S.A. 79-41a — the security that backs the 10% liquor drink tax you collect. The amount is the greater of $1,000 or your three-month average tax liability. The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — exact price in the calculator below.

What it is and who needs it.
What the liquor drink tax bond covers
Kansas imposes a 10% liquor drink tax on gross receipts from selling alcoholic liquor by clubs, caterers, drinking establishments, public venues, and temporary permit holders, under K.S.A. 79-41a. Every on-premise licensee collects that tax — and the state wants a bond standing behind it.
The required security is the greater of $1,000 or your three-month average liquor drink tax liability. So a new licensee usually starts at the $1,000 floor, and an established venue's bond scales with the tax it actually collects. The Department of Revenue accepts a cash bond, an escrow bond, or a corporate surety bond.
It is not insurance for you — if you fail to remit the drink tax you collected, the Department of Revenue can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the state set, at a price from $100; the application collects no credit information.
