About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the permissive supplier bond covers

A supplier is, broadly, a position holder in fuel at an IRS-registered terminal in Louisiana who is responsible for the tax; a permissive supplier is an out-of-state position holder who elects to collect and remit Louisiana tax on fuel destined for the state. Both are licensed by the Department of Revenue under R.S. 47:818.37.

The bond backs the substantial tax these positions collect at the rack. R.S. 47:818.40 sets the supplier and permissive supplier bond at a minimum of $50,000 or three months’ tax liability, whichever is greater. Only one surety bond is required for a supplier that is also a terminal operator.

It is a guarantee to the state, not insurance for you: if the Department recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. We issue the amount your license requires; pricing runs from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
