Being a trucker is not an easy task to deal with. With a long list of obligations, taxes are one among them. However, if you are traveling from one jurisdiction to another during the course of the quarter with IFTA license or permit, you are liable to file and pay IFTA taxes to your base jurisdiction on or before the due date. For the 3rd quarter, the due date is falling on 31st of October. So truckers, get ready with the documents and set it for filing.
However, we will discuss about IFTA in general.
What Is IFTA Is And Who Is Liable To File?
International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is for vehicles owners operators running their business in other jurisdictions during the quarter. This includes Canadian provinces and the 48 contiguous United States, excluding Alaska, Hawaii and the Canadian territories. These motor vehicle owners do possess an IFTA license and are required to file their return to IRS on a quarterly basis if at all they cross 2 or more jurisdiction.
IFTA is supposed to be filed by the next month of the each ending quarter, i.e. October will be the due month for July-September quarter. One-month time is provided by the jurisdiction to get your return prepared and filed with your base jurisdiction.
