    Hi Guys,
    I'm new here. I know how IFTA works and What its for. But I have some doubts. How IFTA calculate Highway use tax and surcharge, like in New York and New Mexico there is Highway use tax, in Kentucky and Oregon weight tax is there. How ifta work in these states, I mean driver has to pay before entering in these states or IFTA has its own process to calculate these Highway use tax and weight tax taxes.

    I'm new here guys I hope you understand what I'm trying ask.

    IFTA is calculated the same way for those states. You just have to pay the highway use tax on top of that. Either buy the yearly permit or on a trip basis. They're separate taxes.

    Oregon you either have to register and run an Oregon plate or buy a trip permit each time. For my company, it's cheaper to just buy the trip permit for the handful of trucks that pass through Oregon than plate all our trucks.

    On the other hand we frequently run through NM, KY and NY so we have the yearly permits.

    I can tell you unlike ifta, there is no grace period for the NM weight distance tax permit. It expires at midnight on 12/31 and you will be pulled around back at the scale house if it's not renewed, lol.

    IFTA deals only with fuel taxes that would be incurred, the other states and taxes you mention are dealing with a highway use tax or weight tax which is a completed different animal requiring it's own filings and have nothing to do with the IFTA fuel tax, however many of the numbers you came up with for IFTA can probably be used for the other special tax reporting needs.

    Thank you for your replies guys but I still have some doubts.
    Actually we are using IFTA and know how to calculate tax, so there is no problem on that.
    But I want to know if I made any trip through oregon then in IFTA return it will automatically calculate the oregon Highway use tax too or I have do it separately or they gonna charge me with highway use tax while issuing permit.
    If we have to do it separately then what's the process for that.
