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 4th quarter IFTA tax rate changes were recently announced. Here is a quick update on these changes and what they mean for motor carriers.
The states and provinces with updated tax rates are shown in the table below:
It’s important to note that these changes only apply to the 4th quarter of 2023, with reports due on January 31st, 2024. The IFTA tax rates are subject to change every quarter based on the average retail price of fuel in each state.
Will these Changes Impact your Trucking Company?
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. You win some, you lose some!
