Fuel Tax Services
The International Fuel Tax
Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement
between all 48 contiguous states, and 10 Canadian provinces. It
enables participating jurisdictions to cooperate in the collection and
administration of motor fuel taxes. An IFTA account is set up
with the base state, which authorizes travel in all IFTA
jurisdictions. Then a single quarterly report must be filed with
the base state, reporting miles traveled and fuel purchased in each
state. The base state is responsible for dispersing the funds to
the other jurisdictions. You need an IFTA license if you travel
in two or more member jurisdictions, and if your vehicle either weighs
more than 26,000 pounds, OR has three or more axles, regardless of
weight.
IN ADDITION TO AN IFTA LICENSE, YOU
WILL NEED ADDITIONAL TAX PERMITS IF YOU TRAVEL THROUGH ANY OF THESE
STATES:
NEW YORK
NEW MEXICO
