How Does a West Virginia Alcohol Tax Bond Work?
A West Virginia alcohol tax bond protects the state and the public by creating a legally-binding contract between three parties:
- Principal: The alcohol-related business purchasing the bond
- Obligee: The West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the alcohol tax bond
If the principal breaks the bond terms and creates damages, the obligee or consumers can file a claim for reimbursement. The surety will investigate and pay out valid claims, then the principal must repay the surety.
