Instead of paying the full amount required by the state, you can purchase your bond through an authorized surety company by paying a bond premium.

Sales Tax & Use Bond Requirements in Missouri
In Missouri, the required sales and use tax bond amount is calculated by tripling the monthly tax liability. This liability is estimated by multiplying the expected monthly gross sales by the applicable sales tax rate.
For example, if monthly gross sales are $10,000 and the sales tax rate is 7%, the monthly tax liability is $700. The bond amount is $700 x 3, or $2,100.
The bond may be canceled by the surety company at any time. However, the surety company must provide a 60-day written notice to the Department of Revenue.
The obligee for the sales and use tax bond is the Department of Revenue. The department can make a demand against the bond for one year after the expiration date for tobacco, cigarettes and motor fuel sales. A 3-year period applies to employer withholding and unemployment taxes.
The bond premium is due annually. We will contact you with payment and renewal instructions prior to the due date each year.
