This created more work for the states and stalled interstate commerce for trucking business. When registering for the IFTA, you should take into consideration your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you subscribe for IFTA you will do so in a specific place, 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.
