If you hold a valid IFTA license, it is imperative to submit a quarterly report by the month’s end following each calendar quarter (January, April, July, and October). This requirement applies even if your truck did not operate during the period. Failing to file on time incurs penalties and interest charges, which can escalate the tax bill significantly. Missing a quarter’s filing could lead to suspension or revocation of your license, necessitating additional reinstatement fees. Failure to pay taxes owed may also result in the inability to renew the IFTA permit for the upcoming year. Compliance with these regulations demands careful attention and diligence.
