Washington IFTA Fuel Tax Report

Before 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 for them to gather the tax owed according to that states own private fuel tax laws. This created more work for the states and lagged interstate commerce for trucking firms. When registering for the IFTA, you should consider your vehicle type, location, and tax preparation method.

When you register 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 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 address, or where you file the operational records for that qualifying vehicle. The exact form number that you should ask for will depend on the place 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 obtained in that jurisdiction.

A qualifying vehicle is one that delivers 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 at least 26,000 lbs, or when used as a combination and weigh more than 26,000 lbs. You should contact the motor carrier vehicle section of that jurisdiction and ask to make an application for an IFTA license and decals to showcase on your truck. Once complete, you should submit it to the regulating body with the required processing fee. Assuming that you meet the standards for IFTA, you will be issued with the correct license and decals.
