What is this bond?

A Rhode Island Motor Fuel Export Permitee Bond is a financial guarantee required for businesses that purchase motor fuel in the state to export and sell elsewhere. It guarantees that the permittee will properly report and remit all applicable fuel taxes to the Rhode Island Division of Taxation. If the business fails to pay these owed taxes, the bond provides a mechanism for the state to recover the lost revenue.

Who needs it?

Businesses and individuals operating as motor fuel exporters in Rhode Island typically need to secure this bond to obtain or maintain their export permit. This often includes distributors, wholesalers, and transporters who move fuel across state lines.

Why is it required?

The state of Rhode Island requires this bond to protect public funds and ensure strict compliance with state tax regulations. It serves as a financial safety net for the Division of Taxation, guaranteeing that fuel exporters fulfill their tax reporting and payment obligations.
