How Does a Kansas IFTA Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, an international fuel tax agreement bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the motor carrier filing the bond
- Obligee: The Kansas Department of Revenue requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for paying state taxes and upholding license regulations.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your international fuel tax agreement bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
