Colorado participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) under C.R.S. 39-27-301 et seq., which lets interstate motor carriers report and pay fuel-use tax through a single base-state license. Most carriers never need a bond — but the Department of Revenue can require one as a financial guarantee.
A bond is typically required when a licensee files late, fails to remit tax, or an account review indicates a guarantee is warranted. The same applies to gasoline and special fuel distributors. When required, the bond is generally twice the estimated average net tax liability for the quarterly reporting period.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. We issue the amount the Department of Revenue set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the form the state names (DR 0300 for IFTA, DR 7065 for distributors).
Submit the application with the bond amount the Department of Revenue set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
