Ifta Fuel Tax Reporting

Some of the companies you lease to provide the service for a fee.

However, if not you will have to do this if you ever haul over 26001 lbs.

Then all miles will have to be recorded.

Get a tape recorder, record the mileage when you cross state lines. You can use excel worksheet or columnar pads. You will need to total the miles driven by state or province. You will need to record the fuel bought by state.

The reports are required quarterly. Total miles by state, fuel tax required by state, less tax paid by state.

This is just a simple overview. I have done many of the reports. They are a little time consuming on the record keeping side.

 

There is no limit on the 10001. That is for logbook. My dodge is 12,200 and for 4 years not subject to it.

When I was DOT Superintendent for a company that had lots of dually's and big trucks, we had to comply with the 26001 rule. This is also when the IRP for apportioned plates kick in.

I'll look up the IFTA reg and post it.

From the Wisconsin IFTA site:
International fuel tax agreement (IFTA)

IFTA is an agreement among all states (except Alaska and Hawaii) and Canadian provinces (except Northwestern Territories, Nunavut and Yukon) to simplify the reporting of fuel used by motor carriers operating in more than one jurisdiction. Persons who operate qualified motor vehicles are subject to IFTA licensing.
Qualified motor vehicle - a motor vehicle used, designed, or maintained for transportation of persons or property and:

• Having two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms; or
• Having three or more axles regardless of weight; or
• Is used in combination, when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms gross vehicle or registered gross vehicle weight. Qualified motor vehicle does not include recreational vehicles.

 

You are confusing the DOT rules with the IFTA. IFTA is only for the fuel taxes. I used Wisconsin because it was the one pulled up.

You can check any of the states. The fuel agreement was ratified by all of the parties to ease the reporting requirements for trucking companies. They would only need to record the same info for all of the parties. I will try and post your Wyoming rules for you.

I have 20+ years of accounting and have prepared numerous fuel tax reports.

I have heard that they are looking at dropping the limit down to 15,000 lbs. in order to get the fuel taxes from hotshotters.
