INTERNATIONAL FUEL TAX AGREEMENT
IFTA is an agreement among the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) and Canadian provinces (except Northwestern Territories, Nunavut and Yukon) to simplify the reporting of fuel used by motor carriers operating in more than one jurisdiction.
When do I need an International Fuel Tax license and decal?
You are required to have an IFTA license if you operate in two or more jurisdictions and the power unit:
- Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight of 26,001 lbs. or heavier;
- Has three or more axles regardless of weight; or
- Is used in combination and the said combination is 26,001 lbs or heavier.
What forms and supporting documents are required prior to applying for a Missouri IFTA license and decals?
You must have a Missouri-issued license plate and must complete the Missouri IFTA application. If your company is incorporated and/or operates under a fictitious name, it must be properly registered with Missouri Secretary of State’s Office at www.sos.mo.gov before you submit an IFTA application. Be certain that the name on the IFTA application matches the registered name exactly.
Who is exempt from IFTA?
