What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
North Carolina licenses fuel suppliers, distributors, importers, blenders, and certain motor carriers through the Department of Revenue under G.S. 105-449. A licensee handles fuel before the excise tax is fully settled, and the state wants a bond standing behind the tax owed.
The bond amount is set by the Department from your average tax liability for the reporting period — the calculation and any minimum vary by license type. For motor carrier bonds over $500, the Department rounds the amount to the nearest $1,000. As your liability changes, the Department can adjust the required figure.
The bond guarantees the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit or to file required reports, the Department can recover against it. Whatever amount the Department set, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
