Overview
Operating as a malt beverage wholesaler in Georgia means the state holds you accountable for every dollar of malt beverage tax you collect and remit. Before the state's department of revenue issues your wholesaler license, you must post a Georgia Malt Beverage Wholesaler Bond. This bond is a financial guarantee that your tax obligations will be met — if they aren't, the state has a direct claim against the bond. Get bonded now and keep your distribution operation moving.
Who Needs This Bond?
You're a Georgia-based malt beverage wholesaler — a distributor who purchases beer and malt beverages from manufacturers and sells them to licensed retailers across the state. If the state's department of revenue has told you that a surety bond is required as part of your wholesaler licensing or registration, this is the bond you need. Any entity engaged in the wholesale distribution of malt beverages in Georgia is subject to this requirement. It applies whether you are a new applicant or an existing licensee renewing your authorization.
What is this Bond For?
Georgia malt beverage wholesalers are responsible for collecting and remitting malt beverage excise taxes to the state's department of revenue. This bond guarantees that those tax remittances will be made accurately and on time. If a wholesaler fails to remit taxes owed, the state can make a claim against the bond to recover the unpaid amount. The bond protects the state's tax revenue — not your business — so compliance is the only way to avoid a claim.
When is it Required?
Your bond must be secured before your Georgia malt beverage wholesaler license is issued or renewed — no license issues without it. The state's department of revenue will not approve your application until proof of a valid surety bond is on file. If your bond lapses during an active license period, your authorization to operate as a wholesaler is at risk. Do not wait until your application deadline is near — bond now so nothing holds up your license.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement enforced by the state's department of revenue. It applies to any malt beverage wholesaler operating anywhere within Georgia's borders, regardless of the counties or distribution regions you serve. There is no local or county-level equivalent — this single bond satisfies the statewide obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the required bond amount change based on the volume of malt beverage taxes I remit?
Yes, Georgia's department of revenue may set or adjust the required bond amount based on your projected or actual tax liability as a malt beverage wholesaler. Wholesalers with higher sales volumes remit more tax and may be required to carry a higher bond amount. When you apply or renew, confirm the current required amount with the department of revenue to make sure your bond meets their threshold.
How do I provide proof of this bond to Georgia's department of revenue after I purchase it?
After your bond is issued, you will receive a surety bond certificate or original bond form. This document must be submitted directly to Georgia's department of revenue as part of your wholesaler license application or renewal packet. The bond form typically identifies you as the principal, names the state as obligee, and states the bond amount — review it carefully before submission to ensure everything matches what the department requires.
Does posting this bond mean I don't owe malt beverage taxes if I can't pay them?
No — this bond does not eliminate or substitute for your underlying tax obligation. As a Georgia malt beverage wholesaler, you remain fully responsible for collecting and remitting all malt beverage excise taxes to the state. The bond simply gives the state a financial backstop if you fail to meet that obligation. If a claim is paid out by the surety on your behalf, you are still required to reimburse the surety for the full claim amount.
