Oklahoma Gasoline Diesel Fuel or Blending Material Excise Tax (BT-170) Bond
Overview
Oklahoma's Oklahoma Tax Commission requires fuel distributors, suppliers, and blenders to post the BT-170 bond before they can operate legally in the state's excise tax program. This bond protects the state by guaranteeing that any gasoline, diesel fuel, or blending material excise taxes owed to Oklahoma will be paid. If a licensee fails to remit those taxes, the Commission can make a claim against the bond to recover the amount owed. It is a condition of doing business in Oklahoma's fuel supply chain — not optional.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you distribute, supply, or blend gasoline, diesel fuel, or blending materials in Oklahoma and are required to collect and remit excise taxes to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, you need this bond. It applies to any entity seeking or renewing a BT-170 fuel tax license under the Commission's oversight. Fuel importers and first receivers operating within Oklahoma's taxable supply chain are also typically required to post this bond. Your license application will not be approved without it.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that the licensed principal — a fuel distributor, supplier, or blender — will faithfully report and pay all Oklahoma excise taxes on gasoline, diesel, and blending materials as required by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The state is the protected party. If taxes go unpaid or are underreported, the Commission has a financial backstop through the bond to recover those funds. It keeps Oklahoma's fuel tax revenue stream protected against default by licensed operators.
When is it Required?
Renewal and initial licensing both trigger this bond requirement — it must be in force continuously as long as you hold a BT-170 fuel excise tax license. You cannot let it lapse between license terms without risking suspension of your license. The Oklahoma Tax Commission requires proof of a current, active bond before issuing or renewing your license. If your bond is cancelled or expires, your operating authority is immediately at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Oklahoma requirement administered by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. It applies to all licensed fuel distributors, suppliers, and blenders operating anywhere within Oklahoma's jurisdiction. There is no local or county equivalent — this bond is your obligation to the state.
