IFTA Fuel Tax Reporting Trucking Services

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need detached tax permits for every of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected in order to acquire the tax owed according to that states own distinct fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and lagged interstate commerce for trucking enterprises. When registering for the IFTA, you should think about your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you subscribe for IFTA you will accomplish this in a specific place, for instance the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you submit your IFTA fuel report and get either your tax refund or pay any fuel tax owed. The jurisdiction which you need to register for IFTA can be where the qualifying truck is registered, where you have an established physical business, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you will need to seek will depend on the province 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 paid for in that jurisdiction.

For you to determine if your vehicle meets the requirements and can participate in the IFTA, you need to have what is called a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that ships either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following requirements: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh beyond 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh at least 26,000 lbs. You should speak to the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to obtain an IFTA license and decals to display on your truck. Once complete, you should return it to the regulating body with the required 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 enter into the IFTA program.
