Who Needs This Bond?
Fuel distributors operating in Connecticut who distribute tax-paid motor vehicle fuels need this bond. If you've applied for or hold a tax-paid motor vehicle fuels distributor license issued by the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, this is your required financial guarantee. It applies whether you're a first-time applicant or renewing your existing distributor status. If DRS told you to get this bond, this is the one.
What is this Bond For?
Connecticut requires this bond to protect state tax revenue collected at the distributor level on taxable motor vehicle fuels. You, as the distributor, are responsible for remitting those taxes to the state — and this bond guarantees you'll do it. If you default on your tax remittance obligations, the state has a financial backstop to recover what it's owed. It's a condition of your license, not optional coverage you elect.
When is it Required?
Applying for a tax-paid motor vehicle fuels distributor license in Connecticut is the triggering event that makes this bond mandatory. You must have the bond in place before DRS will issue or continue your distributor authorization. Any lapse in your bond coverage puts your license at risk. Buy it now so your application isn't stalled waiting on a piece of paper.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Connecticut requirement enforced by the Department of Revenue Services. It applies to your fuel distribution activities throughout the state — there is no local or county component. Operating anywhere in Connecticut as a tax-paid motor vehicle fuels distributor falls under this bonding requirement.
