IFTA

When trucking and transport companies need to move through and do business in more than one state and in Canada, it would paralyze business to have to calculate fuel taxes and to obtain permits for each and every one. The International Fuel Tax Agreement allows truckers to work under one license and to file one report to cover 48 U.S. states and all the Canadian provinces (territories are not members).

This dramatically increases the possibilities for drivers out in the field. Rather than undergoing lengthy and inefficient application processes in each state and province, drivers now have streamlined access to the whole of the continental United States and most of Canada, thanks to the IFTA tax report. The power to service the needs of clients, right across this vast area, is now directly in the hands of drivers. While more convenient than the way things were before, the process still has important reporting requirements that trucking companies cannot overlook. logity dispatch
