Licence, decals, quarterly returns and US state taxes: we handle it all from the records you already have.
Since 1988 · Bilingual service · Canada and the US
IFTA brings together the 10 Canadian provinces and the 48 contiguous US states. You hold one licence, in your base province, and two decals per truck.
Each jurisdiction has its own fuel tax rate. The tax owed to each depends on the miles driven there, not on where you bought fuel.
You report distance and fuel for each jurisdiction to your base province, which passes the money on to the others. Required even for a quarter with no distance.
Alaska, Hawaii, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are not IFTA members: other permits are needed to drive there.
Any carrier with a vehicle that travels in at least two member jurisdictions and has 3 or more axles, or 2 axles and a gross weight over 26,000 lb (11,797 kg), or is used in a combination over 26,000 lb. Each vehicle must display two IFTA decals (stickers) for the year.
The penalty is the greater of $50 or 10% of the net tax due, plus interest. Even with no tax owing, a late return costs at least $50. Repeated late filings can lead to suspension of the IFTA licence.
| Quarter | Due |
|---|---|
| January–March | April 30 |
| April–June | July 31 |
| July–September | October 31 |
| October–December | January 31 |
A due date that falls on a weekend or holiday moves to the next business day.
We apply in your base province, order the decals and renew every year before December 31.
Geotab reports, fuel card statements (Petro-Canada, Irving and others), odometer readings: what you already have.
We work out distance and fuel by jurisdiction, file the return and tell you what to pay, before the deadline.
Each base province has its own agency, forms and fees.
On top of IFTA, some states have their own heavy-truck tax. We file them along with your IFTA returns.
Tell us how many trucks you have and which province your business is in. We call you back with a price, no obligation.
