Utah IFTA Filing

Prior to the introduction IFTA, commercial vehicles and trucks would need separate tax permits for each of the states that they were driving through. Port-of-Entry collection stations were erected in order to gather the tax owed according to that states own specific fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and stalled interstate commerce for trucking agencies. When registering for the IFTA, you should think about 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 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 automobile is registered, where you have an established physical workplace, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you should seek 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 obtained in that jurisdiction.

To establish if your vehicle meets the requirements and can take part in the IFTA, you should have what is named a qualifying vehicle. A qualifying vehicle is one that carries either people or commercial goods. It should also meet the following qualifications: have 3 axles or more, or have 2 axles or more and weigh beyond 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh more than just 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 feature on your vehicle. Once complete, you should repay it to the regulating body with the requested processing fee. Assuming that you meet the requirements for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals. You are now registered to take part in the IFTA program.

Every quarter you need to file your fuel tax report form with the jurisdiction where you subscribed for IFTA. Even if you did not travel during the period, you must still file a “zero” report form. Once your report form has been processed, any net tax or reimbursement that is due to you will be determined, in addition to the fuel taxes that are redistributed to those states where they are due. You should receive a fuel tax report form to the mailing address which you listed when you registered for IFTA. However if you did not you can get in touch with the automobile carrier department in your local jurisdiction.
