Those who have started trucking or trucking business after 1996 might not get the pain and nuisance that truckers operating before 1996 used to go through. Why was that? Before 1996, IFTA was not operating in the whole of the US, but since 1996 IFTA is operating in 48 states of the US, except Alaska and Hawaii, and 10 constituencies of Canada. In this blog, I am going to tell you about the nits and grits of the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA License), how it has made the truckers’ life easier, and how Global Multi Services is one of the most booming companies in providing all kinds of proficient trucking related services.

What is IFTA?

The IFTA is the abbreviated form of the International Fuel Tax Agreement. This agreement was signed by the 48 States of the US and Canadian Provinces. It allowed the truckers and the fleet owners to pay their fuel taxes quarterly, and also, to pay their taxes based on the fuel charges specific to their base jurisdiction only. Otherwise, before 1996, the IFTA was established only in a few American states but each state used to charge its own fuel tax from the truckers traveling interstate, regardless of where the fuel was purchased. So, by time, this became chaotic, and very expensive too, for the truckers and fleet owners. Plus, as it was not used to be filed quarterly or annually but regularly, it also became an administrative menace for the trucking companies. Now the fuel taxes are just to be filed quarterly, and that too in your base jurisdiction which further distributes it to the states that you maneuvered from in that quarter.

Who are Eligible to get an IFTA Permit

Well, not everyone is blessed with the boon of getting an IFTA Permit as the IFTA has specified some vehicle requirements to get an IFTA Permit and IFTA Decals. The vehicles should lie under one of the following categories to get an IFTA permit:

  • The vehicle should at least have two axles with a maximum weight of 26,000 or 11,797 Kilograms.
  • The vehicles should at least have three or more axles.
  • And at last, those vehicles which have a gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 lbs or 11,797 kilograms.

If your vehicle falls under any of the above categories and you travel interstate or across borders for commercial purposes, you are eligible to get an IFTA permit.

IFTA License & IFTA Decals

Getting into an IFTA Program and having an IFTA Permit are two different things. Anyone can get into an IFTA Program, but to get a License you have to apply officially with the required documents, plus your vehicle should also fulfill the requirements asked by IFTA.

To get the IFTA Permit and License you have to apply in your base jurisdiction, or if your state does not comply with IFTA you could apply in the neighboring state. The following list of documents are required:

  • USDOT Number
  • Registered Business Name
  • Mailing Address
  • Federal Business Number

Once you get the License you will be given a pair of IFTA Decals for each of your vehicles. And you could also apply for more than one pair of IFTA Decal, which will cost you some $25 for each pair.

What Is IFTA And Goals With Global Multi Services?

Introduction:

The IFTA is a Canadian arrangement with the U.S. states and provinces to allow data on interstate motor carriers working in two or more member states or provinces simpler on taxation on gasoline use. IFTA’s goal is to create and retain a single Fuel Tax License definition for all your registered motor vehicles, enable it to pass across all IFTA jurisdictions and mandate that you record the fuel and mileage consumption for all IFTA member states and the provinces on a single fuel tax return per quarter.

It is used in a more than 26000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms in combination or recorded gross vehicle weight. The cars used for commercial purposes would not be treated as leisure vehicles.

You need to get fuel trip permits to fly in or through every Member authority if you apply as an IFTA or Interstate Recipient, but don’t want to register. The global multi services provides four successive days for non-statutory carriers to join and return to California without receiving a fuel license. Licensed carriers in California often have to buy a fuel trip license, to re-enter California after they depart the region if they do not have a fuel tax certificate. Before joining the state, the California Travel Authorization must be bought and done.

Fuel Trip licenses from California are eligible for online buying. If, for example, you are a California-based carrier not approved under IFTA and travel in Nevada (IFTA jurisdiction). You would have to buy a gasoline trip certificate for California before you head back to California.

You may be liable to a penalty, fine, or quote based on the jurisdiction rules, whether you are approaching California or moving under an IFTA jurisdiction without appropriate IFTA or inter-state permit qualifications or a fuel trip permit. You are liable to a tax if you reach California without a legitimate fuel trip permit or IFTA permits. Penalties are between $100 and $500 or higher (the penalty could be more than $500 when you pay gasoline tax). You would still have to buy a petrol journey certificate and will face potential seizures. When this happens, you cannot free the car until you pay your full obligation, plus the automobile seizure expenses.

The criteria for reporting on fuel tax in Non-IFTA jurisdictions would continue to be met by carrier passengers. You must upgrade your IFTA license and order new decals from 1st December of the year. With our online facilities, you can renovate your IFTA credentials.

Once you have extended your license and charged your renewal, we will give you the one (1) California IFTA license for your enterprise. You are requested to duplicate the certificate such that each motor vehicle in your fleet includes a (1) copy.

Conclusion:

For an eligible motor vehicle in your fleet, you earn two (2) decals. The outside of the passenger area of the cab must be fitted with one decal; the second stop must be positioned on the driver’s side in the same spot. Decals for all eligible engines installed in California will be obtained annually when renewed; your Interstate Consumer License must not be renewed.
