What the motor fuel tax bond actually covers
Florida taxes motor fuel — gasoline and gasohol — under Chapter 206, F.S., administered by the Department of Revenue with Rule Chapter 12B-5, F.A.C. Terminal suppliers and wholesalers must file security so the state is guaranteed the fuel tax collected at the rack before it is remitted.
For terminal suppliers and wholesalers, the bond is generally set at about three times the average monthly tax levied during the preceding 12 months, with a penal sum that may not exceed $300,000. A surety bond is one of the accepted forms of security, alongside an assigned time deposit or an irrevocable letter of credit.
The bond stands behind the tax you collect — if you fail to remit, the Department can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set; pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. A quick soft credit check may apply, and it never affects your score.
