What is this bond?

The Florida Motor Fuel Tax Bond is a financial guarantee required for businesses that handle, distribute, or sell motor fuel within the state. It guarantees that the business will accurately report and remit all applicable fuel taxes to the Florida Department of Revenue. If the business fails to pay these owed taxes, the bond provides a mechanism for the state to recover the lost funds.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for terminal suppliers, wholesalers, importers, exporters, and blenders of motor fuel operating in Florida. Any business entity that refines, distributes, or brings motor fuel into the state for commercial purposes will generally need this bond to obtain and maintain their fuel tax license.

Why is it required?

The Florida Department of Revenue requires this bond to protect the state's financial interests and prevent the loss of critical tax revenue. It serves as a guarantee that businesses will comply with tax reporting rules and promptly submit the fuel taxes they collect. Since requirements vary by business type, applicants should verify their specific obligations directly with the issuing agency.
