IFTA Licensing Requirements
For trucking companies, how to file IFTA online in California is a topic we frequently receive questions about. FTA stands for International Fuel Tax Agreement. The experts on our team are well-versed in the intricacies of IFTA requirements, which means they can guide your company to help you meet your obligation with ease and timeliness. Should you have any questions, we can help you step by step through the process. Our goals are to make online filing a breeze, to make sure that you maintain compliance, and to decrease your stress.
Demystifying State-Specific Requirements
In addition to IFTA, our services at VLC extend to addressing various state-specific requirements including but not limited to the following:
- Kentucky Highway Use License Requirements – If a vehicle is 60,000 lbs or more, these license requirements are required. Vehicles who qualify must file a tax report quarterly and pay the correct amount of taxes. In addition, any carriers whose licenses have been canceled must obtain a surety bond.
- New Mexico Weight Permit – If registered commercial vehicles (both intra and interstate) have a weight of over 26,000 lbs, a weight-distance tax is imposed. The amount is calculated based on both weight and miles traveled, and companies must stay on top of registering for this permit.
-
- New York Highway Use Tax – This tax is determined based on the weight of the vehicle and the mileage traveled, and is needed for any tractor, truck, or “self-propelled” vehicle with a weight over 18,000 lbs. A decal must be affixed to the vehicle proving registration as well. Check out this link to learn more! http://www.tax.ny.gov/bus/hut/huidx.htm
- Arkansas Ad Valorem Tax – An ad valorem tax means “according to worth” and the Tax Division of the Arkansas Public Service Commission determines this tax on motor carriers in the state.
- Oregon Requirements – When entering the state of Oregon or traveling through it, trucking carriers with more than 26,000 lbs of weight are required to hold a temporary pass or Oregon Weight Receipt along with a Tax Identifier for each unit. In addition, fleet companies must report the miles traveled and pay the correct weight-mile tax quarterly or monthly to the Oregon Department of Transportation. The Oregon DOT requires that companies post a bond which can be dismissed after timely reporting is completed.
- Temporary Passes – The Oregon DOT has also implemented temporary permit restrictions. The DOT can only issue five permits per vehicle or 35 per account within one year, and customers who exceed this limit must establish an account.
- Kansas Motor Carrier Property Tax – The state of Kansas requires a filing from every company which was listed as a motor carrier on January 1 of the current year and who used, owned, or operated any rolling equipment or over-the-road motor vehicles in the state during the preceding year.
