What it is and who needs it.
What the receiver bond actually covers
Under the Motor Fuel Tax Law (35 ILCS 505), Illinois separately licenses parties in the fuel-tax chain. A receiver is the party responsible for the tax on certain fuels received in Illinois (the statute uses “receiver” for fuels such as the special-fuel and aviation-fuel categories), and that license is conditioned on a surety bond filed with the Department of Revenue.
As with the distributor bond, the Department fixes the amount based on the fuel the applicant expects to receive, with the penalty tied to the tax that would be collectible. The bond stands behind the tax owed on that fuel.
If you fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays a claim you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check — confirm the figure and the form on your Department of Revenue notice.
