About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tobacco tax bond actually covers

Nevada licenses cigarette and tobacco dealers through the Department of Taxation under NRS Chapter 370, in Title 32 (Revenue and Taxation). A wholesale dealer precollects the excise tax on the products it distributes, and the state wants a bond standing behind that tax until it is remitted.

For a wholesale cigarette dealer, the bond is in a principal sum equal to the largest amount of tax precollected in any quarter of the preceding year — or, where that history isn’t available, an amount the Department deems comparable. By statute, no bond may be for less than $1,000.

The bond is payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned on payment of all excise taxes required to be precollected. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against it — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Whatever amount the Department sets, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.

NRS Chapter 370 (Title 32)Under NRS Chapter 370, each licensed wholesale cigarette dealer furnishes a bond payable to the State of Nevada, conditioned on payment of all excise taxes required to be precollected, in a principal sum equal to the largest amount of tax precollected in any quarter of the preceding year (or a comparable sum the Department of Taxation sets). No bond may be for less than $1,000. Confirm your required amount on your Department of Taxation notice.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nevada tobacco tax bond?Pricing is 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The bond amount itself is set by the Department of Taxation — for a wholesale dealer, the largest excise tax precollected in any quarter of the prior year, never below $1,000. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
Why does Nevada require it?It backs the excise tax a dealer precollects under NRS Chapter 370. The bond is payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned on payment of all precollected tax, so the state is protected if a dealer fails to remit.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs for a larger bond amount, it is a soft pull that will not affect your credit score.
What if I don’t have a full year of history?Where the prior-year quarterly figures aren’t available, the Department of Taxation sets a comparable amount based on a similar operation. Either way, no bond may be for less than $1,000. Send us your Department notice and we’ll issue it.
Where do I file it?With the Nevada Department of Taxation, alongside your tobacco license application or renewal. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
