IFTA is the "International Fuel Tax Agreement." It's a cooperative agreement among the lower 48 states and all Canadian provinces to simplify the permitting and reporting of fuels use tax by interstate motor vehicle operators. Through IFTA, carriers can get their fuels tax license for all qualified motor vehicles and report their fuels use to their base jurisdiction for all jurisdictions that are IFTA members.

IFTA - 4 What are the advantages of IFTA?
  • As an IFTA licensee, your base jurisdiction will issue you an IFTA license and decals, which allows you to travel in all IFTA member jurisdictions.
  • With an IFTA license, you only have to file one fuels tax return in your base jurisdiction to report fuels use in all member jurisdictions. Also, you only make one payment or receive one refund, which is the total of all tax amounts due or credits received from all IFTA jurisdictions in which you travel.
