When you register any Idaho
based IFTA-qualified motor vehicle at the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), the owner
or lessee of the vehicle must obtain or possess a current year IFTA license and decals.
The IFTA license authorizes the operator of qualified motor
vehicles to travel in more than one jurisdiction.
After your application is processed,
you will receive your IFTA license and the decals you purchased. Make a photocopy of the
IFTA license to keep in the cab of each vehicle. Keep the original in a safe place so
copies can be made if additional vehicles are added to your fleet. Place decals on each
side of the lower rear exterior of each vehicle's cab. You can order extra decals to have
on hand in case one is destroyed or you add a vehicle to your IFTA fleet. Otherwise, you
might have to buy a 30-day IFTA Temporary Decal.
Original Application
The processing fee for the original
Idaho IFTA license is $10. IFTA decals are 60 cents a pair; you will need two decals for
each vehicle. The application is available online, at any Idaho Port of Entry, the Motor
Carrier One-Stop Shop, or at Idaho State Tax Commission offices. Your IFTA license and
decals are good from January through December and must be renewed by the last day in February,
or you will have to apply for a new IFTA license and pay a $10 processing fee.
Renewal
You must renew your
IFTA license and buy new decals annually. You can order
additional decals at any time during the year. The license and decals are good from January through
December. Current license holders receive a renewal
form each year. The processing fee for renewing or ordering additional decals is
$5. The decals cost 60 cents a pair.
IFTA Credential Grace Period
If you are an IFTA licensee and want to
renew your license and get current-year decals, you have a two-month grace period (January and
February) to do so. The grace period applies to you if:
- You have not renewed your credentials; or
- You have renewed your credentials but have not given your current-year license and decals to
your drivers.
To operate in IFTA jurisdictions during this
grace period, you must have a valid IFTA license from a current or prior year and display decals
from your base jurisdiction. However, if you don't have either a valid current-year or prior-year
license during this two-month grace period, you can operate under a valid single-trip permit from
the IFTA jurisdiction where you are traveling.
Temporary Decal
A 30-day IFTA Temporary Decal is
available if you have a current Idaho IFTA license but don’t have enough decals and
you want to place a vehicle in service immediately. The temporary decal is valid for 30
days and is only good for the specified vehicle. The temporary decal costs $10. The 30-day
IFTA Temporary Decal is available at any Idaho Port of Entry, the Motor
Carrier One-Stop Shop, or at Idaho State Tax Commission offices.
Bond
A new IFTA licensee is normally not
required to post a bond. However, a bond may be required if you do not file your
returns
on time, do not pay the fuel taxes on time, or an audit discloses failure to follow other
IFTA requirements.
Account Identification
If your company is a corporation, S
corporation, LLC, or partnership, its IFTA license number is its Federal Employer
Identification Number (FEIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service. If you are a sole
proprietor, your IFTA number will be your FEIN (if you are required to have one), or your
Social Security number. All Idaho IFTA license numbers begin with "ID" (Example:
ID 987654321).
Highway Use Fee
Kentucky, New Mexico, New York and
Oregon have a highway use fee in addition to the fuel taxes (Idaho’s highway use fee
was repealed effective September 30, 2000). If you travel in one of these four states, you
must file its highway use fee reports in addition to filing your Idaho IFTA return. Some
or all of your vehicle miles will be reported on both the IFTA return and that
state’s highway use fee report.
