What Is a Utah Sales Tax Bond?

A Utah sales tax bond is a type of license surety bond that creates a financial guarantee between a business and the State Tax Commission. 

Some businesses with a history of incomplete or late tax payments may be required to be bonded when reinstated or registering for a new tax license. 

How Much Do Sales Tax Bonds Cost in Utah?

Utah sales tax bonds cost a small percentage of the total bond amount based on credit score — typically 1% to 10%. However, with a strong personal credit score, you could pay a rate as low as 1.5–2%. 


For example, a $10,000 sales tax bond starts at $150 for highly qualified applicants. Apply now to get your free quote!

How Does a Utah Sales Tax Bond Work? 

A Utah sales and use tax bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: The business owner(s) filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Utah State Tax Commission requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

The Commission may require this bond to guarantee full and timely payment of all owed sales and use taxes. If you fail to do so, the surety will pay valid claims then seek repayment for taxes, penalties and interest from the principal. 

Who Needs a Sales Tax Bond? 

Businesses that sell tangible personal property, electronically transferred products, or services for storage, use, or consumption in Utah need to pay sales taxes if: 

  • Annual gross revenue exceeds $100,000
  • Annual transactions exceed 200

If any owner of your business has a history of late sales tax payments, you may be required to file a surety bond before receiving a new sales tax license.

How Do I Renew My Sales Tax Bond?

To renew your Utah tax bond, simply pay your annual renewal premium. These bonds are continuous until cancelled, so as long as you pay the premium, the bond will remain active. 

The surety can cancel the bond by providing 30-day’s written notice to the Director of the Taxpayer Services Division. Avoid bond claims to prevent cancellation. 

How to Get a Sales Tax Number in Utah?

You can acquire your Utah sales tax number by registering through the Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) system

You’ll receive an email with your tax license information. Then, you can set up a TAP account where you’ll file and pay your taxes. 

If the Commission requires a surety bond, you must purchase and file the bond before they’ll issue your sales tax number.
