File with the Tax Commission
Your executed bond (the BT-157 cigarette stamp bond) arrives by email, ready to file with your wholesaler or distributing-agent registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma collects cigarette tax through tax stamps that licensed wholesalers buy and affix to each pack. The Oklahoma Tax Commission lets wholesalers and distributing agents purchase stamps on account, and requires a $25,000 surety bond standing behind the tax owed on those stamps.
The bond is filed on the Commission's uniform form (BT-157) and guarantees that you pay all cigarette stamp tax, penalties, and interest due the state and comply with the cigarette tax laws. If you fail to remit, the Tax Commission can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Wholesalers who stay current on their stamp account treat the $25,000 bond as a one-time licensing formality.
