What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Anyone who blends, produces, or otherwise handles taxable fuel (gasoline, diesel, kerosene) and must register with the IRS under 26 U.S.C. 4101 may be required to post a bond as a condition of that registration, under 26 CFR 48.4101-1. The bond secures the federal fuel excise tax the registrant is responsible for.
The IRS does not bond every registrant — it requires a bond mainly from applicants who do not yet meet the adequate-security test (for example, newer businesses without an established compliance record). The penal sum is set by the IRS district director based on the expected tax liability.
It is a continuous bond: it stays in effect from the effective date until it is canceled or the IRS determines you meet the adequate-security test without one. The surety can cancel with 60 days’ written notice. Enter the penal sum the IRS requires and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit pull on standard amounts.
