What it is and who needs it.
What the tobacco tax bond actually covers
New Hampshire taxes tobacco products under RSA Chapter 78 and licenses wholesalers through the Department of Revenue Administration. A wholesaler that wants to buy tax stamps and tobacco products on a credit basis, rather than paying tax up front, posts a bond so the state is covered for the tax it carries on account.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: on the wholesaler's default, the surety pays the wholesaler's outstanding tobacco-tax debt to the state, up to the bond amount. It is filed on Form CD-18, the Tobacco Tax Credit Bond, alongside the financial statement and credit references the Department requires.
Because the amount tracks the credit limit you request, there is no single statutory figure — enter the amount on your application and your exact price appears there. Pricing runs 1% of that requested amount, with a $100 minimum, on the form the Department names.
