What is a Missouri Taxable Fuel Bond?

Persons who are applying for a license in the following categories are required by the Missouri Department of Revenue to submit a surety bond along with their application:

  • Suppliers of gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and blended fuel
  • Terminal Operators of gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and blended fuel
  • Distributor of gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and blended fuel

The surety bond will ensure that the aforementioned license applicants and licensees will pay the taxes due for the services that they are providing.

 

In the case of non-payment, the Missouri Department of Revenue will be able to collect the amount due from the surety bond.

 

The requirement complies with Sections 142.884, 142.890, and 142.896 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
