IFTA Permits Trucking Services

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need distinct tax permits for each 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 distinct fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and lagged interstate commerce for trucking agencies. When registering for the IFTA, you should consider 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 index 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 motor vehicle 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 have to request will depend on the district 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 obtained in that jurisdiction.

For you to figure out if your vehicle meets the requirements and can enter into the IFTA, you should 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 qualifications: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh greater than 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh much more than 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 feature on your vehicle. Once complete, you should submit it to the regulating body with the requested processing fee. Assuming that you meet the qualifying criteria for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to participate in the IFTA program.

Every quarter you need to file your fuel tax report form with the jurisdiction where you signed up for IFTA. Even if you did not travel during the period, you must still file a “zero” report form. Once your report form has been processed, any net tax or payment that is due to you will be determined, along with the fuel taxes that are redistributed to those states where they are due. You should receive a fuel tax report form to the mailing address which you listed when you registered for IFTA.
