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 terminal operator owns or controls a fuel terminal — the bulk storage and rack facility where suppliers hold fuel and from which it is removed into trucks. The operator is licensed and responsible for accurate reporting of fuel held and removed at the terminal.
Under IC 6-6-2.5-44, the commissioner can require a terminal operator to post a bond no less than $2,000 and no more than the estimated two-month tax liability, conditioned on accurate records, reports, and payments related to the terminal.
The bond stands behind the operator's special fuel tax obligations: if reporting or remittance falls short, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the DOR set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
