About this bond

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. A licensed distributor — who acquires fuel for subsequent sale or distribution — 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 due on the fuel you distribute.

The bonding company files the Fuels Tax Bond (form FT462) with the DMV; only that form is accepted. Pricing is 0.75% of your bond amount, $100 minimum — enter the figure on your notice and your exact price appears at the application.
