About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fuel tax bond actually covers

Georgia is an IFTA base jurisdiction: interstate motor carriers based here report and pay fuel-use tax through a single Georgia license, filing quarterly with the Department of Revenue. Most carriers never post a bond — but the DOR can require one as a guarantee of fuel-tax payment.

A bond is generally required after a carrier files or pays late, falls behind on tax, or an account review indicates a guarantee is warranted. Under the IFTA rules, a carrier required to post a bond may be required to pay by certified funds until the guarantee is satisfied. The bond stands behind the fuel-use tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it.

The amount is set by the Department of Revenue, tied to your fuel-tax liability for the reporting periods. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pricing on the amount the DOR names starts from $100; the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 560-9-2 (IFTA, Dept. of Revenue)Georgia administers the International Fuel Tax Agreement under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 560-9-2. A bond is not required of most IFTA licensees, but the Department of Revenue may require one as a guarantee of fuel-tax payment — commonly after late filing, unremitted tax, or an account review — with the amount tied to the carrier’s tax liability. Confirm the amount on your DOR notice.
