Introduction
For trucking companies that do business in multiple states and provinces, fuel reporting is not just red tape—it’s mandatory. The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) was designed to streamline fuel use reporting, but for most carriers, quarterly IFTA filings can become overwhelming and time-consuming. That’s where Expert Trucking Solutions (ETS) steps in. We simplify IFTA Tax Filing so it’s quick, accurate, and hassle-free, freeing you up to do what you do best—operating your fleet and keeping freight in motion.
What Is IFTA Tax Filing & Our Services
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) enables carriers to file one fuel tax report covering all member U.S. states and Canadian provinces they travel through. Rather than submitting reports for each jurisdiction, carriers report fuel bought and miles driven, and then the taxes are allocated accordingly.
At ETS, we offer full IFTA filing services, including:
- Quarterly IFTA return preparation and submission
- Precise mileage and fuel consumption tracking
- Recordkeeping and storage for audit purposes
- Error verification to minimize the risk of fines
- Consulting and guidance so you know what’s going on and remain compliant all year round
