IFTA - International Fuel Tax Agreement

Is there an alternative to IFTA registration?

A carrier must obtain a trip permit from each IFTA member jurisdiction on which the vehicle is operated if the carrier is a qualified IFTA licensee and do not wish to participate in the
IFTA program.

Should I register for IFTA in my state?

IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement signed by the United States and the 10 Canadian Provinces bordering the US to lessen the burden of the truckers in fuel reporting.

A motor vehicle is considered as a qualified vehicle under the following standards:

  • A motor vehicle is considered as a qualified vehicle under the following standards:
  • Traveled in at least two or more IFTA jurisdictions
  • Heavy vehicles with three or more axles or used in combination exceeding 26,000 pounds or
    11,797 kilograms.

Recreational vehicles are not considered as a qualified Motor Vehicle unless used for business purposes.

Do I file a quarterly fuel tax report if I didn't run during the quarter?

You need to submit a "zero report" to file the quarterly fuel tax return if no fuel used throughout the tax year.

What is the penalty and interest rate for filing a late quarterly fuel tax report?

A penalty of $50 or 10% of tax due, whichever is greater, and 0.4167% of interest per month will be charged for failing to file a tax return, filing a late tax return, and underpaying taxes due on all delinquent tax dues at
each jurisdiction.
