What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Arkansas taxes motor fuel at the distributor and supplier level under the Motor Fuel Tax Law (A.C.A. 26-55-201 et seq.). Because a distributor collects the tax before it is remitted to the state, the Department of Finance and Administration requires a surety bond standing behind that liability.
Under A.C.A. 26-55-222, the bond is generally set at not less than 150% of the prior six months’ average motor fuel tax due, with a statutory floor — and the secretary may require up to 300% when needed to protect the state in collecting the tax. Distributors with a clean history can petition for a waiver; if a waived distributor later goes delinquent, the bond requirement comes back.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the DFA set, from $100, with a soft credit check that never affects your score.
