Tennessee IFTA Fuel Tax Report

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need particular tax permits for each of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected in order to gather the tax owed according to that states own specific fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and lagged interstate commerce for trucking corporations. 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 territory, for instance the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you declare 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 motor 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 request will depend on the place that your applying in. On your fuel tax report form you should record any jurisdictions taking part in the IFTA that you have traveled through and the fuel that you purchased in that jurisdiction.

For you to establish if your vehicle meets the requirements and can enter into the IFTA, you need to have what is known as a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that hauls 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 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh more than just 26,000 lbs. You should contact the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to apply for an IFTA license and decals to exhibit on your vehicle. 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.
