What it is and who needs it.
What the tobacco bond actually covers
Michigan licenses tobacco wholesalers and unclassified acquirers through the Department of Treasury under the Tobacco Products Tax Act (Act 327 of 1993). A wholesaler stamps and distributes tobacco products and owes tax to the state; an unclassified acquirer imports or acquires product from a source other than a licensed wholesaler. Both can be required to post a bond securing the tax.
The bond stands behind the tobacco tax the licensee collects or owes. Treasury sets the amount — generally not more than the applicant's anticipated 3-month tax liability — so a high-volume distributor posts more than a small acquirer. If your volume changes, Treasury can adjust the required amount.
If the licensee fails to remit tax and the surety pays Treasury, the licensee repays the surety — it is not insurance for the business. Whatever amount Treasury named, we issue the bond with premiums starting from $100 and no credit fields in the application.
