How Does a North Carolina Alcohol Tax Bond Work?
A North Carolina alcohol tax bond protects the state and the public by creating a legally-binding contract between three parties:
- Principal: The alcohol-related company purchasing the bond
- Obligee: The government department requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the alcohol tax bond
If the principal breaks the bond terms and creates damages, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will investigate and pay out valid claims, then the principal must reimburse the surety.
