How Does a Massachusetts Excise Tax Bond Work? 

An excise tax bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the business, filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Massachusetts Department of Revenue requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Chapters 64C, 64E, 64J, or 138. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your excise tax bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
