About this bond

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 flat 3% with a $275 minimum.

IC 6-2.5-3.5 (Gasoline Use Tax)Under Indiana Code 6-2.5-3.5, a qualified distributor holding a gasoline use tax permit must file a surety bond with the Department of Revenue as security for the gasoline use tax. A distributor with a gasoline tax bond under IC 6-6-1.1 is also required to bond for the use tax. The DOR sets the amount; the permit must be in effect at least five years with all returns timely filed before the bond is released. Confirm the required amount on your DOR notice.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Indiana gasoline use tax bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount is set by the Department of Revenue, sized to your estimated gasoline use tax liability. Enter the figure on your notice and the quote updates.
How is this different from the gasoline distributor bond? +
The gasoline tax bond (IC 6-6-1.1) secures the gasoline tax; this one secures the gasoline use tax (IC 6-2.5-3.5). A qualified distributor bonded for the gasoline tax generally needs both — we write each.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When can the bond be released? +
The Department of Revenue can release the bond after your gasoline use tax permit has been in effect for at least five years with all required returns and reports timely filed.
Where do I file it? +
