Streamline Your IFTA Reporting Process with Huff and Puff Logistics
When it comes to trucking and transportation, navigating the complex web of fuel taxes across multiple states and Canada can be a logistical nightmare. The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) was designed to simplify this process, allowing truckers to operate under one license and file a single report covering 48 U.S. states and all Canadian provinces.
This system not only streamlines operations but also opens up vast possibilities for drivers, enhancing their ability to serve clients across the USA. However, the IFTA still requires meticulous reporting, which can be a daunting task for trucking companies.
The Technology of IFTA Reporting
With an IFTA license, businesses purchase fuel as usual but receive credits for fuel taxes paid. Every fiscal quarter, by the end of April, July, October, and January, they must submit an IFTA fuel tax report. This report details the distance traveled and fuel purchased in each IFTA jurisdiction.
The tax liabilities are then calculated using a formula that incorporates average fuel mileage. The report determines whether the business owes additional taxes or is due a refund. The base jurisdiction, where the carrier’s license was issued, manages the refunds and payments, ensuring funds are appropriately transferred among member states and provinces.
Who Needs an IFTA License?
Not all vehicles require an IFTA license. The IFTA applies specifically to commercial vehicles used to transport people or property and:
- Have three or more axles.
- Have an actual or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 lbs (11,797 kgs).
- When combined, they have a gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 lbs (11,797 kgs).
If your vehicle meets these criteria, you are required to submit the IFTA quarterly fuel report.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failure to file the IFTA report, late submissions, or underpayments can result in penalties, calculated as the greater of 10% of the amount owing or $50. Additionally, interest accrues on any amounts owing to each member jurisdiction.
