IFTA Tax Filing Trucking Services

Before the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need independent 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 stalled interstate commerce for trucking enterprises. When registering for the IFTA, you should consider 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 submit 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 auto is registered, where you have an established physical place of business, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you should ask for 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 paid for in that jurisdiction.
