About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fuel tax bond actually covers

New Jersey taxes motor fuel at the distributor level under the Motor Fuel Tax Act (N.J.S.A. 54:39-101 et seq.), administered by the Division of Taxation. A licensed distributor files reports and remits the tax each month, and the state requires a bond standing behind the faithful performance of those duties.

The bond amount is set by the Division of Taxation on a case-by-case basis — generally three times the greatest amount of tax the distributor was likely to owe in any month over the prior 12 months. It is filed on Form DMF-6 and made payable to the State of New Jersey.

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 Division set; premiums start from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
