What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Alabama taxes motor fuel at the terminal rack under the Alabama Terminal Excise Tax Act (Ala. Code §40-17-330 et seq.), administered by the Department of Revenue's Business & License Tax Division, Motor Fuels Section. Licensees handle large volumes of tax before remitting it, so the act conditions certain licenses on a surety bond.
Under Ala. Code §40-17-335, suppliers, permissive suppliers, and terminal operators must post a bond of at least twice their average monthly tax liability, up to a maximum of $2,000,000. The Commissioner approves the bond limit by license classification before the license issues. A licensee may deposit certified funds instead of a bond.
The bond stands behind the fuel excise tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
