Your Basic IFTA Info
The International Fuel Tax Agreement requires all qualified motor vehicles to file an IFTA return each quarter if the qualifying heavy vehicles were operating in a least 2 of the IFTA member jurisdictions. NOTE: The IFTA jurisdictions include the 48 contiguous states of the US and 10 Canadian provinces bordering the US. Vehicles operating within these jurisdictions must have an IFTA license and file a quarterly IFTA return with their base jurisdiction. A vehicle’s base jurisdiction is the state or province in which the vehicle is registered.
