IFTA States Trucking Services

Before the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need different tax permits for 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 individual fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and slowed interstate commerce for trucking business. When registering for the IFTA, you should take into account your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you sign up for IFTA you will do so in a specific province, for example the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you submit your IFTA fuel report and obtain either your tax refund or pay any fuel tax owed. The jurisdiction which you need to 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 need to request will depend on the district 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.

To figure out if your vehicle meets the requirements and can compete the IFTA, you need to have what is known as a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that delivers either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following standards: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh more than just 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh more than 26,000 lbs. You should speak to the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to apply for an IFTA license and decals to display on your automobile. Once complete, you should submit it to the regulating body with the required processing fee. Assuming that you meet the criteria for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to participate in the IFTA program.
