Missouri motor fuel suppliers and permissive suppliers post a much larger bond under §142.884 RSMo — sized to three months' potential tax liability, with a floor of $100,000 and a ceiling of $2,000,000. We issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull; large amounts get an underwriter review.
















Enter your amount, a soft pull runs, and an underwriter reviews the larger supplier bonds. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the Department required, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Supplier bonds run large, so most get a quick underwriter review. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score, and informs approval, not price.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your supplier license. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time. Suppliers run $100,000–$2,000,000 — enter the figure the Department set and the premium updates.
A motor fuel supplier or permissive supplier sits at the top of the fuel supply chain — typically at the terminal rack, where the tax is precollected. Because that's where the largest tax dollars move, Missouri requires a substantially larger bond from suppliers than from ordinary distributors, under §142.884 RSMo.
The bond is sized to three months' potential tax liability based on the gallons handled, with a statutory floor of $100,000 and ceiling of $2,000,000. The Director estimates the gallons and sets the amount. A supplier can reduce or waive the requirement by demonstrating net worth — broadly, $5 million net worth waives the full bond, with partial relief at lower thresholds.
The bond guarantees the precollected fuel tax reaches the state. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set, at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull; the larger amounts get an underwriter review.
