What it is and who needs it.
What the carrier refund bond actually covers
Connecticut imposes the Motor Carrier Road Tax on motor carriers operating qualified vehicles in the state, under C.G.S. Chapter 222 (Secs. 12-478 et seq.). Carriers report quarterly, take credit for Connecticut fuels tax already paid, and can be due a refund when their credits exceed the road tax owed.
When the Department of Revenue Services wants assurance behind those refunds or credits, it can require a bond so the state can recover if a refund is later found to have been overpaid or claimed in error. The bond stands behind the carrier road-tax account, not the carrier in general.
It is not insurance for you — if DRS recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. We issue the amount DRS named, at a flat 3% with no credit check. If you are unsure of the figure, send us your DRS notice and we will confirm before issuing.
