What it is and who needs it.
What the motor fuel tax bond covers
Oklahoma collects its motor fuel excise tax at the supplier level under the Motor Fuel Tax Code, 68 O.S. § 500.1 et seq. Suppliers, permissive suppliers, and bonded importers license with the Oklahoma Tax Commission and post a surety bond on form BT-168 guaranteeing the tax they collect and remit.
For suppliers and bonded importers, the bond is generally not less than three months’ estimated tax liability, with a statutory floor of $100,000 and a cap of $2,000,000. In lieu of a bond, an applicant may show proof of financial responsibility — generally a $5,000,000 net worth. The Tax Commission can also require a purchaser that pays tax to a supplier to post a bond.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the Commission set; pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Tax Commission. Submit the executed BT-168 to the Oklahoma Tax Commission with your motor fuel license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the agency insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One short form to apply.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Tax Commission set — priced at 1% of that amount with a $100 minimum — smaller amounts issue on the spot; larger supplier and importer bonds may get a quick review.
