What is a New York Taxable Fuel Bond?

See why this surety bond matters to your business!

Every enterer, refiner, blender, terminal operator, position holder, pipeline operator, and vessel operator must procure a surety bond before engaging in the business that involves the following taxable fuel:

  • Gasoline
  • Kerosene
  • Diesel fuel

 The Internal Revenue Service requires this surety bond to ensure that the registered enterer, refiner, blender, terminal operator, position holder, pipeline operator, and vessel operator will pay the necessary taxes on time and in full.

 

If the registrant defaults on the tax payment, the Obligee of the surety bond will be able to recover the amount due through the surety bond.

 

The surety bond requirement is in pursuance of Title 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations 48.4081-1.

 

What is the Taxable Fuel Bond amount?

The bond amount will vary per registrant and will be determined by the Internal Revenue Service Department of the Treasury’s District Director. The following are the determinants of the bond amount:

  • The registrant’s tax history
  • The registrant’s expected tax liability for 6 months. The expected tax liability for any person other than a terminal operator that has removed a taxable fuel at a terminal rack is 1 month.
  • The registrant’s financial capability
  • For gasohol blenders, the bond amount will depend on the following:
  • Expected total number of gallons of gasoline at the gasohol production tax rate that will be bought in a 6-month period.
  • The difference between the gasoline rate of tax and the applicable gasohol production tax rate.
