IFTA Permits

What is the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA), and what does it require?

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement among states to report fuel taxes by interstate motor carriers. To register, you must:

Have an established place of business in the state from which your motor carrier operations are performed

• Have accrued mileage in your state
• Maintain or make available your operating records, or those of your fleet
• Operate in at least one other jurisdiction

Under the IFTA, you are issued a license and a set of IFTA decals for your truck; these will allow you to operate in all other jurisdictions without buying additional decals from each of those areas. A copy of the IFTA license may be used in your truck instead of your original license.

You can obtain further information about IFTA by contacting us.
