IFTA Carriers
Read our instructions on how to calculate miles per gallon on your IFTA returns during the fuel tax holidays for Maryland, Georgia, and Connecticut.
Total miles (Column 7)
Enter the total miles traveled in each jurisdiction using the fuel type in column 5.
Total miles include every mile the vehicles in your IFTA fleet traveled in the jurisdiction (e.g., on-highway, off-highway [nontaxable], temporary permit).
Total taxable miles (Column 8)
Enter the taxable miles for the fleet vehicles using the fuel type in column 5.
Report taxable miles for each fuel type. Most jurisdictions – including Idaho – don’t have distance exemptions reported on the IFTA report. So, your total miles will equal your taxable miles, in most cases.
Claiming nontaxable miles
- Each jurisdiction defines nontaxable miles differently and determines if you can claim a refund of the fuel tax and how.
- See exemption information for each jurisdiction at www.iftach.org.
- Contact each jurisdiction in which you have nontaxable miles to find out what that state’s rules are.
