The IFTA license offers several benefits to the interstate/inter-jurisdictional motor carrier. These benefits include one license, one set of decals per vehicle, one quarterly fuel tax report for all vehicles that reflects the net tax or refund due.
In order to obtain and IFTA license and decals you must submit an application to your base jurisdiction. The process varies from state to state, so check your base state to determine the exact process.
Under the IFTA requirements, payments are made to the home office in which the office will distribute payments through other home bases. For your vehicle to qualify you must travel to and from two IFTA jurisdictions.
You must also have gross weight and that weight must be registered; and it must combine the gross weight in excess of 26k pounds or have three or so axles on power units despite of its gross weight; or it must be a bus that is made to carry up to 20 or more passengers.
