Revenue Officer Unannounced Visit

I had a sit down meeting with the local agent when I first set up my IFTA account. He called me to schedule it though.

 

Don't know about now, but sounds about right. I live in Pa and 18 or more years ago a guy came out. He wanted fuel reciepts and logs. The records he wanted were for 6 months to a year previous. Cant remember exactly. Anyway he took them with him. Had them so long I had to call him as I needed the info for tax etc. He says okay I'm done. Brought it back in a couple days. Fined me $2 and some change mayby $4 and change wasn't much. Ohio did a mail audit once also. Mailed in and not long it came back. Can't remember how I came out on that one, probably not much either. Usually my large fines stand out in my memory.

 

I have had that, it's an audit of your filings, you must give them your miles and a place to work. If your miles and fuel is right it's painless

 

probably wanted to audit your reporting and check your tanks for dyed fuel ... they don't usually announce there visits as they want to catch you with incomplete records ...... Pennsylvania probably would be one of the worst for checking since they have the highest fuel tax in the nation and they probably get cheated the most . I am using the quailcom to keep track of ifta miles now but I use to show the atlas miles for the high tax states and add miles to the cheap tax states saves around $100 a month once you get the hang of it ..... doesn't sound like much but that's 12,000 in 10 years and some satisfaction in knowing that you are screwing the communist states out of money

 

Isn't Pa something? When I do my IFTA I look at other states fuel & gas tax. I can't believe those greedy people in Harrisburg. We sure aren't getting more for it. Except one thing, they are all chubbed up over traffic circles(round abouts). They're building those everywhere.
