IFTA Setup and Quarterly Filing

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) simplifies fuel tax reporting for carriers operating in multiple member jurisdictions through a single quarterly return.

What It Is

IFTA requires qualifying carriers to report fuel purchased and miles driven in each member jurisdiction every quarter.

The base jurisdiction reconciles fuel tax owed or refunded across all jurisdictions traveled.

Late or inaccurate filings are a leading cause of roadside audits and can jeopardize IRP and operating authority standing.

Who Needs It

  • Qualified motor vehicles (3+ axles or over 26,000 lbs GVWR) operating in two or more IFTA jurisdictions
  • Carriers currently filing manually who want accuracy review
  • Fleets that received an IFTA audit notice

Requirements Checklist

  • IFTA license and decal application (new carriers)
  • Quarterly mileage logs by jurisdiction
  • Fuel receipts or bulk fuel withdrawal records
  • Base jurisdiction registration

Timeline

License issued in 1–2 weeks for new applicants; quarterly returns filed by the statutory due date (last day of the month following quarter-end).
