What is this bond?

The Federal Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, and Kerosene Excise Tax (Combination) Bond is a financial guarantee required by the federal government for certain fuel industry businesses. It ensures that bonded principals will accurately report and remit all required federal excise taxes on motor fuels. If the business fails to pay these taxes, the bond protects the government from revenue loss.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for businesses involved in the production, wholesale, blending, or distribution of taxable fuels. This includes refiners, terminal operators, fuel blenders, and pipeline operators handling gasoline, diesel fuel, or kerosene. You should verify your specific registration and bonding needs directly with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Why is it required?

The Internal Revenue Service requires this bond to protect federal tax revenues generated from the sale and distribution of motor fuels. It serves as a financial safety net, guaranteeing that businesses will comply with tax laws and pay their excise tax liabilities in full. If a business defaults on these tax payments, the government can make a claim against the bond to recover the owed funds.
