Texas Mixed Beverage Sales Tax and Gross Receipts Tax Bond

Texas Mixed Beverage Tax Bond

Businesses that sell, prepare, or serve mixed alcoholic beverages to the Texas public must obtain a proper permit that is to be filed with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. To qualify for an approved license, both the Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond and the Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond are required of the applicant.

QUOTE

Jet Insurance Company provides the Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond and the Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Bond as a fiscal assurance to the Texas Comptroller that the alcoholic beverage business owner will follow the rules and regulations of their permit, as well as file and pay all sales/gross receipts taxes due. If the permittee fails to fulfill this obligation, the surety bonds will be used to cover the cost of any penalty fees and taxes due to the State.

What Are the Bond Amounts and Pricing for the Mixed Beverage Tax Bonds?

The pricing for both the Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond and the Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond is based on the permit type of the applicant and the business’s monthly tax liability. The limit must be either the minimum amount required or four times the monthly average tax liability of the business, whichever is greater (bond amounts cannot exceed $100,000). Each permit type and its minimum bond amount is listed below:

At Jet, our prices are a small percentage of the custom bond amount and are based on the credit score of the applicant. If the limit is high, we may also require a review of your business financials. For business owners seeking bond amounts up to $5,000, our rates start at $200 annually or $20 a month. As for additional limits and our preferred tier rates, take a look at the chart below.

According to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, your permit type is based on whether you want to only sell or sell and serve alcoholic beverages to the public. Below is a list of each permit type and the information on what the business can do with this kind of licensing.

Why Are the Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond and the Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond Required?

The Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond and the Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Bond are required to simply ensure that the licensed business owner and its employee’s file and pay all sales taxes and gross receipts to the Comptroller’s department on time and in full. The department will do its best to work with any business that fails to fulfill these obligations, but if they are ultimately unable to pay any past taxes or civil penalties due, the surety bonds may be used to cover these losses.

It is important to note that if you are enrolled in our monthly plan, you will be required to make one last payment for the liability period as your bond is technically still active during this time.

How Does a Texas Business Owner Avoid Mixed Beverage Sales Tax and Gross Receipts Tax Bond Claims?

As a licensed mixed beverage business, you and your employees are expected to follow all regulations pursuant to Chapter 151 and Chapter 183 of the Texas Tax Code. Failure to comply may result in the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts inflicting penalties such as a loss of permit (suspension or permanent revocation), large fines, civil penalties, and/or a bond claim onto your business.

Ultimately, ensuring that you collect and remit a sales tax and gross receipts tax when selling mixed beverages is a foolproof way to avoid civil repercussions and a bond claim. However, violations do occur. In these cases, the Comptroller’s Enforcement Division will attempt to have the permittee file and/or pay any taxes due various times before filing a claim on the Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond and/or the Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond. If you, the business owner, continuously refuse or are unable to pay the taxes due by your own means, a claim will be filed on the bonds to cover the losses incurred by the Texas government.

What Happens if I Get a Texas Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond or Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond Claim?

If you receive a claim notice from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, contact Jet as soon as possible! We will ask that you provide us with all available information and documentation regarding the claim. These details will be used for our own review and investigation of the alleged violation.

Per the Mixed Beverage Tax Bond forms, Jet Insurance Company is legally obligated to payout all justified claims up to the bond limit. Claim payments will never exceed the bond amount. You, the mixed beverage business owner, are held responsible for not only your own actions but also the actions of your employees. Therefore, you will be required to reimburse Jet for the claim payment made on behalf of your tax transgressions. Failing to follow through on this requirement will lead to future difficulties in acquiring surety bonds in the State of Texas, especially bonds that are required for licensure as a mixed beverage business.

What Happens if I Get a Texas Mixed Beverage Sales Tax Bond or Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax Bond Claim?

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission requires various surety bonds of businesses that sell, serve, prepare, or store alcoholic beverages. Take a look at our Texas Alcoholic Beverage Business Bonds page for further information
