IFTA Requirements Trucking Services

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need particular tax permits for each and every of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected so as to acquire 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 take into consideration your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you register for IFTA you will do so in a specific jurisdiction, for example 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 should register for IFTA can be where the qualifying car 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 need to ask for 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 paid for 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 known as a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that moves either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following criteria: 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 beyond 26,000 lbs. You should call the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to apply for an IFTA license and decals to display on your auto. Once complete, you should return it to the regulating body with the requested processing fee. Assuming that you meet the standards for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to enter into the IFTA program.
