What it is and who needs it.
What the fuels tax bond actually covers
Virginia administers the Virginia Fuels Tax Act (Code of Virginia Title 58.1, Chapter 22) through the DMV. An applicant for a license as an aviation consumer must file a bond (or certificate of deposit) with the Commissioner as security for the fuels tax it owes.
Under § 58.1-2211, the bond amount is three times the applicant's average expected monthly tax liability, as determined by the Commissioner — no less than $2,000 and no more than $300,000. The bond stands behind the tax you owe on the fuel you consume.
The bonding company files the Fuels Tax Bond (form FT462) with the DMV; only that form is accepted. Premiums for this bond are 0.75% of your bond amount, $100 minimum — enter the figure on your notice and your exact price appears at the application, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
