IFTA Tax Rate Trucking Services

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need detached tax permits for each and every of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected for them to acquire the tax owed according to that states own private fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and stalled interstate commerce for trucking companies. When registering for the IFTA, you should take into account your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you register for IFTA you will do so in a specific place, for instance the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you file your IFTA fuel report and acquire either your tax refund or pay any fuel tax owed. The jurisdiction which you should register for IFTA can be where the qualifying car is registered, where you have an established physical place of business, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you should request will depend on the place 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 bought in that jurisdiction.

For you to figure out if your vehicle meets the requirements and can participate in the IFTA, you should have what is known as a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that transports either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following criteria: 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 at least 26,000 lbs. You should get in touch with the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to make an application for an IFTA license and decals to feature on your truck. Once complete, you should submit it to the regulating body with the requested processing fee. Assuming that you meet the requirements 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 jurisdiction where you joined for IFTA. Even if you did not travel during the period, you must still file a “zero” report form. Once your report form has been processed, any net tax or refund that is due to you will be determined, alongside the fuel taxes that are redistributed to those states where they are due. You should be given a fuel tax report form to the mailing address which you listed when you registered for IFTA.
