- IFTA 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
