IN special fuel — eligible purchaser.
From $100. Enter your amount.
An eligible purchaser license lets you buy special fuel from a supplier on deferred-tax terms — and the Indiana Department of Revenue can require a bond to secure the tax under IC 6-6-2.5-44. The commissioner sets the amount; pricing starts from $100, and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the special fuel bond actually covers
Indiana taxes diesel and other special fuels under IC 6-6-2.5, collected through a chain of licensed suppliers, importers, and purchasers. An eligible purchaser is a licensee approved to buy fuel from a supplier and remit the tax on a deferred schedule rather than paying it up front.
Because the state is extending you credit on the tax, the commissioner can require a bond under IC 6-6-2.5-44. The amount is not less than $2,000 and not more than the applicant's estimated two-month tax liability — sized to the credit at risk, not your balance sheet.
The bond stands behind the special fuel tax you owe: if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The premium is priced at 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and most applicants approve instantly.
