Everything You Need to Know About IFTA Reporting for the Fourth Quarter of 2022

The new year has started, and we are into the first month of 2023 already. Now, it’s time to prepare for the 2022 fourth quarter IFTA reporting deadline, which is around the corner, January 31, 2023.

IFTA Reporting – An Overview

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement made between the 48 Contiguous United States and 10 Canadian provinces.

You are required to report IFTA if your vehicle meets the following requirements:

• Weighs 26,000 pounds or more,
• Has three or more axles
• Travels through two or more jurisdictions. 

When you meet the requirements needed to file IFTA for your vehicle, you must then keep track of the miles traveled and the amount of fuel purchased in each jurisdiction and then report it to your base jurisdiction. That jurisdiction will then distribute the tax amount owed to each jurisdiction fuel was purchased. 

Challenges Involved in IFTA Reporting?

• When preparing your IFTA report, it is important to keep track of your fuel purchases, but sometimes it can be a challenge to keep all of your fuel receipts for an entire quarter in one place.
• The jurisdictions frequently update their IFTA tax rates, and it’s important to be aware of the tax rates for the current quarter while preparing your IFTA reports.
• With there being so much to prepare, you may miss out on the deadlines to submit the IFTA reports.
