IFTA covers fuel taxes only. It does not cover road taxes, weight mileage taxes, or any other jurisdiction-specific taxes. You must continue to pay these taxes directly to the jurisdictions in which you travel.

Under IFTA, you must generally report information on all fuels used to power your qualified motor vehicles. However, reporting requirements for fuel used in each jurisdiction are based on that specific jurisdiction's laws and may vary.

You may view, print, or download the fuel tax rates for all IFTA jurisdictions at http://www.iftach.org.

The fees vary from state to state, check your state for their specific fee.

You will receive one IFTA license for your business and two decals for each qualified motor vehicle in your fleet. One decal must be placed on the exterior portion of the cab's passenger side. The second decal must be placed in the same position on the driver's side. Decals are obtained annually at the time of renewal for all qualified motor vehicles. You are required to make copies of the license so that one copy is carried in each qualified motor vehicle.

Yes, you must submit a "zero" report even if no taxable fuel was used.

Interest is computed on all delinquent taxes dues in each jurisdiction at a rate of .4167% per month. Even if you have a net refund, interest still applies to each jurisdiction for any underpayment of fuel use tax to that jurisdiction and is calculated beginning the day after the due date of the return for each month, until paid.

You must also renew your IFTA decals annually. Most states mail out the renewal papers, but it is your responsibility to renew. All quarterly returns must have been filed and all taxes must be paid in full in order to renew.
