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

When you subscribe for IFTA you will accomplish this in a specific jurisdiction, for example the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you index your IFTA fuel report and get 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 address, 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 legal system that your applying in. On your fuel tax report form you should record any jurisdictions participating in the IFTA that you have traveled through and the fuel that you bought in that jurisdiction.

A qualifying vehicle is one that ships 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 beyond 26,000 lbs. You should call the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to obtain an IFTA license and decals to exhibit on your auto. Once complete, you should submit it to the regulating body with the required processing fee. Assuming that you meet the requirements for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals.
