What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Tennessee taxes petroleum products and alternative fuels under the Petroleum Products and Alternative Fuels Tax Law (T.C.A. Title 67, Chapter 3). Anyone applying to deal in, transport, or use those fuels must give the Department of Revenue a bond securing the tax, interest, and fees that arise under the chapter.
The bond amount is the greater of $1,000 or three times the tax required to be paid monthly by the licensee. The Commissioner can require an increase if needed to safeguard state revenue, but the bond may never exceed $1,000,000. The amount on your notice reflects your expected monthly volume.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the Department’s bond form.
