The bond a qualified distributor posts with the Indiana Department of Revenue as security for the gasoline use tax under IC 6-2.5-3.5. A distributor bonded for gasoline tax generally also needs this one. The DOR sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with a $275 minimum.

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.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
