  1. pesa 26,000 libras o más
  2. tiene tres o más ejes
  3. viaja a través de dos o más jurisdicciones

Este acuerdo se realizó con los Estados Unidos (excluyendo Alaska y Hawái) y diez de las provincias canadienses. Está diseñado para que los camioneros puedan reportar el combustible comprado en cada estado a su jurisdicción base y esa jurisdicción es responsable de distribuir los impuestos a cada estado en el que se compró el combustible.

El IFTA es un impuesto que se declara trimestralmente como está indicado a continuación:

Trimestre 1: 1ro. de Enero – 31 de Marzo
Trimestre 2: 1ro. de Abril – 30 de Junio
Trimestre 3: 1ro. de Julio – 30 de Septiembre
Trimestre 4: 1ro. de Octubre – 31 de Diciembre

La fecha límite para presentar IFTA para cada trimestre es la siguiente (si la fecha límite cae en fin de semana o feriado, la fecha límite se trasladará al siguiente día hábil):

Trimestre 1: 30 de Abril (2 de Mayo de 2022)
Trimestre 2: 31 de Julio (1 de Agosto de 2022)
Trimestre 3: 31 de Octubre
Trimestre 1: 31 de Enero

Puede comenzar oficialmente a hacer el reporte de IFTA para el segundo trimestre de 2022 a partir de Julio. Para este trimestre, deberá crear un informe con las millas recorridas y el combustible comprado en cada jurisdicción entre el 1ro. de Abril y el 30 de Junio de 2022. La fecha límite para presentar este informe en su jurisdicción base es el 1ro. de Agosto de 2022 porque el 31 de Julio de 2022 cae en fin de semana este año.

What You Need To Know About IFTA Reporting 2019

Before we dive into the filing your IFTA reporting, let’s go over some of the basics.

IFTA Fuel Tax Basics

The International Fuel Tax Agreement, or IFTA, quarterly fuel tax report allows you to travel in all participating member jurisdictions with a single fuel tax license. To operate in two or more member jurisdictions, you are required to have an IFTA sticker and license.

You receive your IFTA license through your base jurisdiction and you are given an IFTA sticker to put on your truck. Your IFTA license needs to be renewed annually in December. When you hold an IFTA license, you are required to file an IFTA quarterly fuel tax report that calculates how much fuel tax you owe (or are credited) to remain compliant.

Your vehicle qualifies for IFTA reporting if it:

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,00 pounds
  • Has two axles and a registered gross weight exceeding 26,000 pounds
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight
  • Or has a combined weight exceeding 26,000 pounds

It’s Officially The 4th Quarter IFTA Deadline Day 

We will start with a little IFTA history. IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement that was put in place by the lower 48 United States and 10 Canadian provinces to simplify fuel reporting by those who use qualified motor vehicles between two or more jurisdictions.

Before IFTA was put into place fuel reporting was a complicated mess. Each state had their own rules and regulations to comply with, now they all adhere to the quarterly IFTA return. IFTA is used to report and determine the net tax refund that’s due and to redistribute taxes from collecting states to due states.

Your vehicle qualifies for IFTA if it travels between two or more jurisdictions and:

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or more 
  • Has two axles and a registered gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or more 
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight and/or 
  • Is used in combination when the combination exceeds 26,000 pounds or more in gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight. 

You actually have to apply for your IFTA license at first, then keep it in your cab at all times. Also, to comply with IFTA you will receive two IFTA decals that need to be placed on your driver door and file your IFTA returns four times a year.

In order to complete your IFTA return you need to provide the following information:

  • The total miles traveled per jurisdiction
  • The total gallons of fuel consumed per jurisdiction 
  • The total tax paid gallons of fuel purchased per jurisdiction, and
  • The current tax rate per jurisdiction
