What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Vermont taxes diesel and other motor fuels under Title 23, Chapter 27, and licenses the distributors and dealers who handle them through the Department of Motor Vehicles. The Commissioner may require a licensee to file a surety bond as a financial guarantee for the fuel tax it collects and owes.
When required, the bond is in a sum the Commissioner fixes from your estimated tax liability — generally tied to roughly a two-month period — and is conditioned on filing your fuel tax reports and paying the tax, penalties, and fines. The statute caps the bond at a high ceiling, so most distributors land well below the maximum. The amount is reviewed annually each September.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the State can recover against it, and the carrier must be approved as to solvency before the bond is accepted. We issue the amount the DMV set, at a flat 3% with no credit check. If you are unsure of your figure, send us your DMV notice and we'll confirm it.
