International Fuel Tax Agreement Forms Trucking Services

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need independent tax permits for each of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected to gather 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 organizations. When registering for the IFTA, you should take into consideration your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you sign up 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 acquire either your tax refund or pay any fuel tax owed. The jurisdiction which you should register for IFTA can be where the qualifying auto is registered, where you have an established physical address, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you should seek will depend on the jurisdiction that your applying in. On your fuel tax report form you should record any jurisdictions entering the IFTA that you have traveled through and the fuel that you bought in that jurisdiction.

For you to establish if your vehicle meets the requirements and can participate in the IFTA, you need to have what is known as a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that ships either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following qualifications: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh at least 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh more than just 26,000 lbs. You should get in touch with the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to apply for an IFTA license and decals to display on your car. Once complete, you should repay it to the regulating body with the required processing fee. Assuming that you meet the standards for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to participate in the IFTA program.
