IFTA
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement between all 48 states and 10 Canadian Provinces. It enables participating jurisdictions to cooperate in the collection and administration of motor fuel taxes. An IFTA account is set up with your base state, which authorizes travel in all IFTA jurisdictions. Then a single quarterly report must be filed with your base , reporting miles traveled and fuel purchased in each state. The base state is responsible for dispersing the funds to the other jurisdictions. You need an IFTA License if you travel in two or more member jurisdictions, and if your vehicle either weighs more than 26,000 pounds, or has three or more axles, regardless of weight. Bicehouse Consulting will file your IFTA Application for a fee of $40. This does not include the fee charged by your base state. Fees vary per state.
* If you travel outside your base state only on a rare occasion, it is possible to purchase a trip permit for each individual trip. However, this becomes very costly in the long run, compared to the low yearly fee of an IFTA membership.
IN ADDITION TO AN IFTA LICENSE, YOU WILL NEED ADDITIONAL TAX PERMITS IF YOU TRAVEL THROUGH ANY OF THE FOLLOW STATES: California, Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon.
