IFTA and IRP

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and the International Registration Plan (IRP) are cooperative programs that collect and distribute registration and fuel tax revenue between member states and Canadian provinces. They benefit carriers by consolidating licensing and reporting requirements through the home state.

Managing IFTA and IRP registration and quarterly compliance is one of many services TCS Compliance Specialists can assist with.

What is IFTA and IRP?

Drivers moving between the US and Canada can simplify the registration fee process with IFTA and IRP.

IFTA, or the International Fuel Tax Agreement, is a cooperative agreement among the lower 48 states and Canada, which allows commercial carriers to average out their fuel and mileage to determine the quarterly tax liability.

Similarly, the IRP, or the International Registration Plan is a reciprocity agreement between the contiguous 48 states and Canada. It eases the process for apportioning payments of the registration fees carriers are required to pay based on their total distances they operate between jurisdictions every quarter.

I’ve had nothing but great experiences with TCS.

Everyone I’ve been in contact with have been so helpful and knowledgable. I also want to say that Brittany in the IFTA department was amazing. She was able to answer all my questions and was willing to take the time to dumb things down for me a bit. She’s a rockstar. Highly recommend TCS for all compliance needs!

TCS has been awesome!

Started my transport business this year & I can truly say that if it wasn’t for this company & staff, I wouldn’t have made it through the DOT/MC process with any hair on my head!

They are thorough, patient, and very detailed

If you are stressed to the max and overwhelmed with the whole process of getting your DOT, MC, and LLC taken care of I strongly suggest you go with Transportation Compliance Services! They are thorough, patient, and very detailed and the best part they are not pushy at all! They give you the facts of what is needed and let you decide what services they can help you with…James, Sara, and Ryan have all been a huge help to me and continue to have my back. So if you are wanting to make sure you are in compliance and stay in compliance give Transportation Compliance Services a call…you will not be disappointed!

The awareness to stay ahead of any setbacks would have been overwhelming

I’m a new Owner Operator and getting organized and ready to present myself as a business owner with the awareness to stay ahead of any setbacks would have been overwhelming if the team from TCS had not taken the reigns for me.

The company is a one stop service for USDOT, LLC, and other legal matters

Transportation Compliance Services is the best because their employees I spoke to (3 of them) knew their jobs flawlessly. I am very impressed. It also tells me that the management is top of the line because the employees are very professional. The company is a one stop service for USDOT, LLC, and other legal matters needed for a business. The best phone call I made, and they got me up and running. Thank you.
