What is this bond?

A Vermont Fuel Tax Bond is a financial guarantee required for certain businesses dealing with motor fuels within the state. It ensures that the bonded business will accurately report and remit all applicable fuel taxes owed to the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. If the business fails to pay these taxes, the bond provides a mechanism for the state to recover the lost tax revenue.

Who needs it?

Businesses operating as fuel distributors, dealers, or motor carriers within Vermont typically need this bond. This generally includes companies involved in importing, exporting, selling, or transporting motor fuels that are subject to state taxation.

Why is it required?

The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles requires this bond to protect public funds and ensure strict compliance with state tax regulations. By requiring the bond, the state mitigates the risk of financial loss in the event that a fuel-related business defaults on its tax obligations.
