What it is and who needs it.
What the tobacco tax bond actually covers
Louisiana taxes tobacco products and requires registered tobacco dealers — those handling cigars, cigarettes, and smoking tobacco — to stand behind the tax they owe. Under R.S. 47:848, each dealer must furnish the Department of Revenue a bond guaranteeing payment of all taxes and penalties.
The statute sets a minimum of $2,500, but the actual amount depends on the dealer’s volume of business and must be sufficient, in the secretary’s discretion, to guarantee the state against losses for taxes and penalties. The bond must be executed by a surety company qualified to do business in Louisiana.
The bond stands behind the tobacco tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. Whatever amount applies to your registration, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
