How-To Tuesday: Creating an IFTA Amendment with TruckLogics (Updated)
With TruckLogics, you are able to generate IFTA reports by using either the IFTA-only option or IFTA reporting available with the subscription of a preferred or premium plan. IFTA has to be reported quarterly and then filed with your base jurisdiction.
IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) was made between the 48 contiguous United States and 10 Canadian provinces. For this, drivers of vehicles weighing 26,000 pounds or more, that have three or more axles, and travel through two or more jurisdictions must report the fuel purchased and miles traveled in each jurisdiction. The driver’s base jurisdiction then distributes the taxes to each jurisdiction fuel was purchased.
For the first time ever, TruckLogics now allows drivers to amend an existing IFTA report. In order to do this you will need to follow the steps below.
