How much does a motor fuel excise tax bond cost in West Virginia?
The West Virginia State Tax Department’s Internal Auditing Division - Excise Tax Unit requires motor fuel suppliers, importers, distributors, blenders, and exporters to post surety bonds. The required bond amount must be equal to three times the applicant’s tax liability. These bonds range in amount from $1,000 to $100,000. Applicants should verify their required bond amount with the state prior to bonding.
These bonds are subject to underwriting, so the price you’ll pay depends on your required amount of bond coverage plus a review of your credit report. Because the price of this bond varies, we suggest submitting a bond request for a personalized quote.
Why do I need this bond?
By posting a West Virginia motor fuel excise tax bond, principals (motor fuel professionals) pledge to comply with provisions of Chapter 11, Article 14C of the Code of West Virginia. Specifically, the bond guarantees that principals will account for and pay all motor fuel taxes and penalties due to the state.
If the principal fails to comply with these terms, the bond protects the state from resulting financial losses.
