Online IFTA Quarterly Fuel Tax Reporting Software

IFTA is an agreement created between Canada and the 48 lower U.S states to collect fuel taxes to pay for road maintenance. The Truckers must get an IFTA license permit to operate their vehicle in all states other than their home state and to report and pay fuel taxes to a single jurisdiction.

If a carrier is a qualified IFTA licensee and does not wish to participate in the IFTA program, the carrier can get a temporary fuel use permit to travel through member jurisdictions based on each state regulations.
