Frequently Asked Questions

What is IFTA?

IFTA refers to the Internal Fuel Tax Agreement. Trucking companies do the IFTA tax to simplify the process of reporting and paying fuel taxes across the various jurisdictions in which they operate. Instead of obtaining permits and filing separate tax returns for each state or province, companies registered under IFTA only need to submit one quarterly tax return to their base jurisdiction, which then distributes the appropriate taxes to the jurisdictions where the fuel was consumed.

Trucking companies participate in the International Fuel Tax Agreement to streamline the reporting and payment of fuel taxes across multiple jurisdictions. They track fuel purchases and mileage for each vehicle, calculate the fuel tax liability based on fuel consumption and tax rates in each jurisdiction, and submit quarterly fuel tax returns to their base jurisdiction.

Overall, the IFTA fuel tax:

  • Simplifies the reporting and payment process for fuel taxes
  • Reduces administrative burden for trucking companies
  • Promotes uniformity in tax collection across multiple jurisdictions

Failure to comply with IFTA requirements can result in penalties and fines for non-compliance, making accurate fuel tax reporting essential for trucking companies.

How does the IFTA reporting process work?

Here’s how the IFTA fuel tax reporting process works:

Recording Fuel Purchases and Usage: Trucking companies track fuel purchases and mileage for each vehicle in their fleet. This includes recording the number of gallons purchased and the miles traveled in each jurisdiction.

Calculating Fuel Tax Liability: Using the recorded fuel purchases and mileage data, companies calculate the amount of fuel tax owed to each jurisdiction based on the fuel consumption within their boundaries and the applicable tax rates.

Reporting and Payment: Companies submit quarterly IFTA tax returns to their base jurisdiction, detailing the fuel purchases and miles traveled in each jurisdiction during the reporting period. They also include the calculated tax liability for each jurisdiction.

Distribution of Taxes: The base jurisdiction processes the tax returns, collects the total tax liability, and distributes the appropriate amounts to each jurisdiction based on the reported fuel consumption.

What's the best way to track IFTA miles?

Mileage data integrated with IFTA software is the most efficient way to track fuel miles. Alvys offers a built-in IFTA mileage calculator that leverages ELD integrations, ensuring accurate mileage tracking by jurisdiction.

How much does the IFTA tax calculator tool cost?

The IFTA tax calculator tool is free for Alvys users. It’s included with all subscriptions to our TMS trucking software.

Who needs IFTA software?

Any carrier operating across state lines or into Canada benefits from IFTA software, especially larger fleets. Alvys caters to trucking companies of various sizes, helping manage IFTA obligations efficiently.

How often do I need to file IFTA reports?

IFTA reports are filed quarterly: April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31. However, it’s important to check with your base jurisdiction for specific deadlines, as they may vary slightly. Alvys’ automated reporting feature ensures timely and accurate filings, reducing administrative burden.

What types of reports can IFTA software generate?

IFTA software generates quarterly tax returns, trip reports, fuel purchase summaries, tax summaries, and vehicle performance reports. Alvys offers customizable reports to meet specific business needs or audit requirements.

Can IFTA software handle audits?

Yes, IFTA software maintains detailed records of trips, fuel purchases, and calculations for audits. Alvys includes features for internal audits and pre-audit checks, ensuring compliance and ease during official audits.
