What it is and who needs it.
What the gasoline use tax bond covers
Indiana collects a gasoline use tax — a sales-tax equivalent on gasoline — at the distributor level under IC 6-2.5-3.5. A qualified distributor (licensed under IC 6-6-1.1 and holding a gasoline use tax permit) must post a bond with the Department of Revenue as security for the use tax it collects.
A refiner, terminal operator, or qualified distributor that carries a gasoline tax bond under IC 6-6-1.1 will also be required to bond for the gasoline use tax. The DOR sizes the amount to your estimated use tax liability.
It is not insurance for you. If you fail to remit the gasoline use tax, the state can recover against the bond, and you repay the surety. The permit must be in effect for at least five years, with all returns timely filed, before the DOR will release the bond. We issue the amount the DOR set at a premium starting from $100.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Revenue. Receive the executed bond, ready to file with your gasoline use tax permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.75% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
