About this bond

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. A supplier is a position holder in the terminal transfer system — the party that holds the fuel at the rack and is generally responsible for collecting and remitting the special fuel tax when fuel is removed across the terminal rack. It is the central tax-collection role in the chain.

Because suppliers handle the bulk of the tax, under IC 6-6-2.5-44 the commissioner can require a bond no less than $2,000 and no more than the estimated two-month tax liability — which for a high-volume supplier can be the largest of the special fuel bonds.

The bond stands behind the special fuel tax you collect and 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 0.75% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and most applicants approve instantly.

IC 6-6-2.5-44 (supplier)Under IC 6-6-2.5-44, the Department of Revenue may require a special fuel license applicant — including a supplier — to file a surety bond or cash deposit set by the commissioner, not less than $2,000 and not more than the applicant's estimated two-month tax liability, conditioned on keeping records and making complete reports and payments. Confirm your required amount on your DOR notice.
