A Quick Overview of IFTA
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is a tax agreement among the 48 contiguous states in the US and 10 Canadian provinces. Under this agreement, motor carriers who operate in more than one jurisdiction are required to report and pay taxes on fuel consumed within each jurisdiction.
IFTA tax rates are updated quarterly, and the 2nd quarter IFTA tax rate changes were recently announced. In this blog, we will discuss these changes and what they mean for motor carriers.

Will these Changes Impact your Trucking Company?
What do these changes mean for you? Good question! If you operate in states or jurisdictions where the tax rate increases, you will pay more taxes on the fuel. Conversely, if you operate in any of the states or jurisdictions where the tax rate is decreasing, you will pay less in taxes.
