North Dakota Sales Tax Bonds

In order to obtain a North Dakota sales and use tax permit needed for retail goods and services sales, you have to obtain a surety bond. It guarantees you will file any reports connected with your taxable activities, as well as the payment of all due taxes to the state. Thus, it ensures you will follow your obligations under applicable North Dakota tax laws.

The Office of the State Tax Commissioner determines the amount for the North Dakota sales and use tax permit bond separately for each applicant. It depends on the volume of taxed sales you have performed in the state. On the basis of this required amount, you have to pay a small percentage of it, which is called the bond premium.

In order to determine your exact surety bond cost, your surety has to take a close look at your personal credit score, business finances, and fixed and liquid assets that you may demonstrate. This is how it determines how stable your bond application is. The lower the perceived risk, the smaller your bond premium can be. The typical rates for applicants with stable finances are between 1% and 5%.
