We can do everything from the account creation, to updates, renewals, assigning temporary permits, filing quarterly fuel taxes, and more. We can take care of it all!
So don't do it alone, pick up the phone!
IFTA
If you own a truck or combination with a registered weight of more than 26,000 pounds and go out of state, you are required to have an IFTA fuel tax decal on the truck.
IFTA fuel tax is a way for each state to tax the mileage and fuel consumption of your truck(s) within their state to make up for the fuel you should have purchased in their state. Most states have varying tax rates and you are required to pay fuel taxes quarterly.
PA
MCRT
If you own a truck or combination with a registered weight of more than 26,000 pounds and transport ONLY within Pennsylvania, you are required to have an PA MCRT decal on the truck.
The PA MCRT permit can be used instead of an IFTA fuel tax decal if you qualify for it.
Since you are only operating within Pennsylvania you pay your fuel tax at the pump, but you are still required to report your miles and fuel consumption each year for renewal.
NEW ACCOUNT
& PERMIT
If you are a new carrier, we can help you to determine which decals you need for your vehicle. We will apply for your new account and obtain whichever decals you need.
Along with that, we can also set up your MyPath account with Pennsylvania. MyPath is Pennsylvania Department of Revenue’s online filing system where we can apply for new accounts, file quarterly reports, and obtain new or replacement permits.
Already have an IFTA or MCRT account established and getting a new vehicle? Trucker's Paper Trail can obtain an additional permit for your new vehicle as well as a temporary permit in the meantime so that you can get your truck on the road right away.
To get a temporary permit you are also required to have all your filings up to date.
ACCOUNT CHANGES
Whether is is a Truck change, Name change, Address change, or Account closing, we can take care of all the necessary work to make sure your business is up to date. Trucker's Paper Trail can take care of managing all aspects of your IFTA / MCRT accounts.
If you change your company structure to an LLC or a corporation, you will get a new EIN from the IRS which will require you to open a new account. We can take care of closing your old account and establishing your new account under the new EIN.
RENEWALS
RENEWALS
Both the IFTA and MCRT permits expire each year on December 31st and require renewal.
All companies with a MCRT account are also required to report their total miles traveled and your total gallons of fuel puchased for the year, July 1st - June 30th of the next year, for their renewal.
Trucker's Paper Trail can take care of your renewals and also compile all of your fuel consumption and mileage data.
QUARTERLY FUEL TAX
QUARTERLY FUEL TAX
If you have an IFTA account you are required to file quarterly tax reports that are based on your miles traveled and fuel consumption in different states.
Trucker's Paper Trail makes this process as easy as possible. All you need to do is send us either your quarterly trip sheets, quarterly fuel / mileage totals, or your electronic log reports and we will take care of the rest!
**This is only required for IFTA accounts
