IFTA - International Fuel Tax Agreement

Is there an alternative to IFTA registration?

According to the regulations of each member jurisdiction, if a carrier qualifies as an IFTA licensee and does not wish to participate in the IFTA program, must obtain a trip permit from each IFTA member jurisdiction in which the vehicle travels.

Should I register for IFTA in my state?

A motor vehicle is considered as a qualified vehicle under the following standards:

  • Traveled in at least two or more IFTA jurisdictions
  • Heavy vehicles with three or more axles or used in combination exceeding 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms.

Recreational vehicles are not considered as a qualified Motor Vehicle unless used for business purposes.

How do I apply for an IFTA license?

What fees must I pay under IFTA?

You will need one decal set per qualified vehicle which costs $5.

What credentials will I receive?

Truckers will receive an IFTA license and a set of decals credentials valid for a year. Each qualified motor vehicle requires a licensed photocopy to be kept safe in the vehicle.

Do I file a quarterly fuel tax report if I didn't run during the quarter?

You need to submit a "zero report" to file the quarterly fuel tax return if no fuel used throughout the tax year.

What is the penalty and interest rate for filing a late quarterly fuel tax report?

A penalty of $50 or 10% of tax due, whichever is greater, and 0.4167% of interest per month will be charged for failing to file a tax return, filing a late tax return, and underpaying taxes due on all delinquent tax dues at each jurisdiction.

How do I obtain a return?

All IFTA licensees must file an IFTA Quarterly Fuel Tax report (IFTA-100) and Schedule(s) (IFTA-101) with the Department. Each fuel type requires separate schedules. The Tax Report and Schedule(s) will be sent to all IFTA licensees at least 30 days prior to the due date.

Quarterly tax reports and schedules (IFTA-100 and IFTA-101) can be obtained from the Department's Bureau of Motor Fuel Taxes or at http://www.tax.ri.gov/taxforms/sales_excise/ifta.php.
