What it is and who needs it.
What the special fuel bond actually covers
Connecticut taxes special fuels — diesel and similar fuels not taxed as motor vehicle gasoline — under Title 12, Chapter 221, administered by the Department of Revenue Services. A licensed distributor must post a surety bond standing behind the fuels tax it collects and remits.
The bond is filed on Form OR-131, the DRS surety tax bond, and the amount is set by the DRS — generally scaled to your tax liability so larger distributors post larger bonds. Connecticut runs its fuel bonds on a July 1 through June 30 bond year, and a new bond is typically filed each spring.
The bond guarantees payment of the tax, interest, and penalties 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 DRS set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on Form OR-131.
