About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the gasoline distributor bond covers

Indiana taxes gasoline at the distributor level under IC 6-6-1.1, and a licensed gasoline distributor must post a bond with the Department of Revenue as security for the tax it collects and remits.

The DOR determines the amount: a bond not less than $2,000, and not greater than an amount equal to a refiner, terminal operator, or qualified distributor's estimated three-month gasoline tax liability. The department may ask for financial records to set the figure.

It is not insurance for you. If you fail to remit the gasoline tax, the state can recover against the bond, and you repay the surety. We issue the amount the DOR set at a premium starting from $100.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Indiana gasoline distributor bond?The premium is 0.75% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The amount itself is set by the Department of Revenue — at least $2,000, up to roughly a three-month gasoline tax liability. Enter the figure on your notice and apply to see your exact price.

How does the DOR set the amount?It estimates your gasoline tax liability and sizes the bond between a $2,000 floor and about a three-month liability. The department may ask for financial records to make that estimate.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it's a soft pull only and never affects your score.

Is this the same as the gasoline use tax bond?They are related but separate. A distributor with a gasoline tax bond under IC 6-6-1.1 will generally also need a gasoline use tax bond — we write both. See our Indiana gasoline use tax bond page.
