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.
