Rhode Island IFTA Program

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need different tax permits for each 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 private 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 consideration your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you sign up for IFTA you will do so in a specific jurisdiction, for instance the state of California. It will be in this jurisdiction that you file 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 place of business, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you have to ask for will depend on the place 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 bought in that jurisdiction.

For you to figure out if your vehicle meets the requirements and can enter into 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 standards: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh greater than 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh beyond 26,000 lbs. You should get in touch with the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to make an application for an IFTA license and decals to exhibit on your auto. Once complete, you should return it to the regulating body with the required processing fee. Assuming that you meet the qualifying criteria for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to participate in the IFTA program.
