Today is the 3rd Quarter IFTA Deadline
Before we drive headlong into today’s IFTA reporting deadline, let’s review the basics of what you need to know.
What is IFTA?
If you are asking yourself “What is IFTA?” then you are in worse shape than I expected. But don’t worry I got you. The International Fuel Tax Agreement, or IFTA, quarterly fuel tax report allows you to travel in all participating member jurisdictions with a single fuel tax license. To operate in two or more jurisdictions, you are required to have an IFTA sticker and license.
You receive your IFTA stickers and license through you base jurisdiction which is your home state or where your vehicle is registered. Your IFTA license needs to be renewed annually in December. When you hold an IFTA license, you are required to file an IFTA quarterly fuel tax report that shows and calculated how much fuel tax you owe (or are credited) to remain compliant.
In short, IFTA is used to report and determine the net tax refund that’s due and to redistribute taxes from collecting states to due states. This agreement is between the lower 48 United States and 10 Canadian provinces, this regulation was put into place to simplify fuel reporting by those who use qualified motor vehicles.
Your vehicle qualifies for IFTA reporting if:
- Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,00 pounds
- Has two axles and a registered gross weight exceeding 26,000 pounds
- Has three or more axles regardless of weight
- Or has a combined weight exceeding 26,000 pounds
To complete your IFTA report you need to provide the following information:
- The total miles traveled per jurisdiction
- The total gallons of fuel consumed per jurisdiction
- The total tax paid gallons of fuel purchased per jurisdiction, and
- The current tax rate per jurisdiction
