VA fuels tax supplier bonds.
From $15,000 for the $2,000,000 statutory bond.
A motor-fuel supplier in Virginia is licensed and bonded through the DMV under the Fuels Tax Act. Code of Virginia § 58.1-2211 fixes the bond at $2,000,000 for a supplier that holds a position in a terminal or receives fuel in a two-party exchange, and for a permissive supplier. Our carrier quotes 0.75% of the bond amount, $15,000, confirmed in the application. A supplier that only provides fuel alcohol files the fuel alcohol provider bond instead.

What it is and who needs it.
What the supplier bond actually covers
Virginia taxes motor fuel under the Virginia Fuels Tax Act, administered by the DMV. A supplier — broadly, a position holder at a terminal or a person who imports fuel for sale — is liable for the fuels tax and is among the licensees the Act requires to post security.
Under Code of Virginia § 58.1-2211, the bond is conditioned on compliance with the Fuels Tax Act and payable to the Commonwealth. Subsection A(1) fixes the bond at $2,000,000 for a supplier who is a position holder or receives fuel in a two-party exchange, and for a permissive supplier — the same figure as terminal operators and bonded importers. A supplier that only provides fuel alcohol falls under subsection A(2): three times its expected monthly tax, between $2,000 and $300,000.
The bond stands behind the fuels tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. Our carrier quotes 0.75% of the bond amount, which is $15,000 at $2,000,000, and an underwriter reviews a bond this size quickly.
