About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the withholding tax bond actually covers

Mississippi employers withhold state income tax from employee paychecks and remit it to the Department of Revenue. To make sure that withheld money actually reaches the state, DOR can require an employer to post a bond as security for its withholding account.

Under the withholding-of-tax provisions of the Mississippi Code (chapter 27-7, article 3), the security is commonly set at twice the estimated tax liability for a three-month period. This requirement is most often applied to employee leasing companies and to employers DOR considers a collection risk — many ordinary employers never post one.

The bond stands behind the withheld tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Department of Revenue (the obligee). If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount DOR required and pricing starts from $100; the application collects no credit information, and pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

Miss. Code § 27-7-305 (withholding security)Mississippi's withholding-of-tax law (Mississippi Code chapter 27-7, article 3) authorizes the Department of Revenue to require security for an employer's income tax withholding. For employee leasing companies, § 27-7-305 directs the commissioner to require a cash bond or an approved surety bond sufficient to cover twice the estimated tax liability for a three-month period; DOR applies similar security to other employers it considers a collection risk. Confirm the required amount on your DOR correspondence.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Mississippi withholding tax bond?Pricing is variable — from $100 — and depends on the bond amount the Department of Revenue sets, commonly twice your estimated withholding tax for a three-month period. Pricing is 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
Do I always need this bond?No. Many ordinary employers never post one. DOR requires it mainly from employee leasing companies and from employers it considers a collection risk — often after a late filing or unremitted withholding.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against?It secures the income tax you withhold from employee paychecks. If you fail to remit it, the Department of Revenue can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
What amount should I enter if I'm not sure?Use the figure on your Department of Revenue correspondence — that is the amount they require. If you do not have it yet, send us the notice and we will confirm before issuing.
