About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the supplier bond actually covers

A motor fuel supplier or permissive supplier sits at the top of the fuel supply chain — typically at the terminal rack, where the tax is precollected. Because that's where the largest tax dollars move, Missouri requires a substantially larger bond from suppliers than from ordinary distributors, under §142.884 RSMo.

The bond is sized to three months' potential tax liability based on the gallons handled, with a statutory floor of $100,000 and ceiling of $2,000,000. The Director estimates the gallons and sets the amount. A supplier can reduce or waive the requirement by demonstrating net worth — broadly, $5 million net worth waives the full bond, with partial relief at lower thresholds.

The bond guarantees the precollected fuel tax reaches the state. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set; pricing starts from $1,200 with a soft credit pull, and larger amounts get an underwriter review.

§142.884 RSMo (supplier / permissive supplier)Section 142.884 RSMo requires Missouri motor fuel suppliers and permissive suppliers to post a surety bond of not less than three months’ potential tax liability based on gallons handled, within a statutory range of $100,000 to $2,000,000. A supplier may reduce or waive the bond by demonstrating net worth (broadly, $5 million net worth waives the full bond, with partial relief at $2.5 million and $1.25 million). Confirm your required amount with the Department of Revenue.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Missouri fuel supplier bond?The premium is 1.2% of the bond amount. The amount runs from $100,000 to $2,000,000 under §142.884 RSMo — three months’ potential tax liability — so the premium starts around $3,000. Enter the figure the Department set and the quote updates.
How is the amount set?The Director sizes it to three months’ potential tax liability based on the gallons you handle, within the statutory $100,000–$2,000,000 range. The exact figure is on your Department of Revenue notice.
Can I avoid the bond with net worth?Yes — §142.884 lets a supplier reduce or waive the bond by demonstrating net worth: broadly, $5 million net worth waives it entirely, with partial relief at $2.5 million and $1.25 million. If you qualify, the Department can waive part or all of the requirement.
Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. Because these bonds run large, most get a quick underwriter review too. Pricing is 1.2% of the bond amount, and credit informs approval, not price.
What's the difference between this and the motor fuel tax bond?This is the supplier / permissive supplier bond — large, $100,000–$2,000,000, for the top of the supply chain. The general motor fuel tax bond is for distributors and other licensees and is usually much smaller. Tell us your license type and we’ll route you correctly.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
