International Fuel Tax Agreement Fuel Tax Report Trucking Services

Before the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need different tax permits for every of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected to acquire the tax owed according to that states own private fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and lagged interstate commerce for trucking firms. 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 jurisdiction, for instance the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you index your IFTA fuel report and get either your tax refund or pay any fuel tax owed. The jurisdiction which you should register for IFTA can be where the qualifying automotive vehicle 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 need to ask for 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 purchased in that jurisdiction.

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 much more than 26,000 lbs.
