What the motor fuel tax bond actually covers
Missouri taxes motor fuel under Chapter 142 RSMo and licenses the distributors, transporters, and others in the fuel supply chain. To make sure the tax that is precollected or owed reaches the state, the Department of Revenue can condition a fuel license on a surety bond.
For distributors and similar licensees, the bond is generally sized to three months' potential tax liability based on the gallons handled. The Director estimates the gallons and sets the amount. In lieu of a surety or cash bond, a qualifying distributor may instead contribute to the Motor Fuel Bond Trust Fund at the rate set by rule.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax — if you fail to remit, the state recovers against it. 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 that never affects your score.
