What the diesel fuel tax bond actually covers
Texas taxes motor fuels under Tax Code Chapter 162, administered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. A diesel fuel license holder — supplier, permissive supplier, distributor, importer, exporter, blender, or dyed diesel fuel bonded user — must post a continuous bond standing behind the diesel tax it collects or owes.
Under § 162.212, the bond is generally two times the maximum amount of tax that could accrue on tax-free diesel purchased or acquired in a reporting period. The minimum is $30,000 (or $10,000 for a dyed diesel bonded user) and the maximum is $600,000 — though the Comptroller can require more if it sees undue risk of revenue loss.
The Comptroller determines your exact amount based on your expected tax, your filing history, and the need to protect the state. We price the figure on your notice starting from $100.
