IFTA Reporting Trucking Services

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

When you sign up for IFTA you will do so in a specific district, for example the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you file 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 auto 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 should seek will depend on the jurisdiction 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 determine if your vehicle meets the requirements and can take part in the IFTA, you need to have what is referred to as a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that delivers 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 at least 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh much more than 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 feature on your truck. Once complete, you should repay 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. You are now registered to enter into the IFTA program.
