What Is IFTA Tax Filing Assistance?
IFTA is an agreement between the U.S. states and Canadian provinces to streamline the reporting of fuel tax to the carriers who operate in more than one jurisdiction. Rather than making individual tax filing in each of the states or provinces you cross, your company makes a single quarterly filing with your home base jurisdiction that credits or allocates fuel taxes in the most efficient way.
