What it is and who needs it.
What the beer tax bond actually covers
Louisiana levies an excise tax on beer and other alcoholic beverages, collected from the wholesale dealer who first handles and distributes them in the state. Under R.S. 26:348, every manufacturer or wholesaler must file a bond with the Department of Revenue before commencing business, guaranteeing payment of all taxes and penalties.
The bond is filed on form R-10200 (beer) and the related alcoholic-beverage form, in a minimum amount of $10,000 for each type of permit held. The secretary may set a higher amount in his discretion, and a certificate of deposit or letter of credit assigned to the secretary is an accepted alternative to a surety bond.
The bond stands behind the excise tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. Whatever amount applies to your permit, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
