Signed into law on April 18th, 2013, North Dakota HB 1106 requires that professionals who work as tax managers for limited liability businesses post a tax surety bond to guarantee that they will pay all taxes owed to the state. In addition to the surety requirement, tax managers in these roles will be personally liable for taxes that go unpaid.

In Section 11 of the bill, the surety requirement reads as such:

“If the officers, governors, or managers elect not to be personally liable for the failure to file the required returns or to pay the tax due, the corporation or limited liability company must make a cash deposit or post with the commissioner a bond or undertaking executed by a surety company authorized to do business in this state. The cash deposit, bond, or undertaking must be in an amount equal to the estimated annual tax liability of the corporation or limited liability company.”
