How To Calculate IFTA Trucking Services

Before the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need separate tax permits for every of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected so as to acquire the tax owed according to that states own individual fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and lagged interstate commerce for trucking providers. When registering for the IFTA, you should think about your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you subscribe for IFTA you will accomplish this in a specific jurisdiction, for example the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you submit your IFTA fuel report and receive either your tax refund or pay any fuel tax owed. The jurisdiction which you need to register for IFTA can be where the qualifying auto is registered, where you have an established physical workplace, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you should request will depend on the jurisdiction that your applying in. On your fuel tax report form you should record any jurisdictions participating in the IFTA that you have traveled through and the fuel that you obtained in that jurisdiction.

To determine if your vehicle meets the requirements and can take part in the IFTA, you should have what is called a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that transports either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following standards: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh more than just 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh beyond 26,000 lbs. You should call the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to apply for an IFTA license and decals to display on your auto. Once complete, you should submit it to the regulating body with the required processing fee. Assuming that you meet the criteria for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to take part in the IFTA program.

Every quarter you need to file your fuel tax report form with the district where you subscribed for IFTA. Even when you did not travel during the period, you must still file a “zero” report form. Once your statement form has been processed, any net tax or refund that is due to you will be determined, along with the fuel taxes that are redistributed to those states where they are due. You should receive a fuel tax report form to the mailing address which you listed when you registered for IFTA.
