The current version of the IFTA Calculator supports diesel fuel only.
The IFTA Calculator does not support gasoline, propane, natural gas, biodiesel blends requiring separate treatment, electricity, hydrogen, or any other fuel type unless expressly confirmed by the company in writing or made available in a future product release.
Carriers operating mixed-fuel fleets are solely responsible for using separate methods, tools, or professional assistance for non-diesel vehicles and non-diesel fuel reporting.
6. No IFTA Filing Service
The IFTA Calculator does not file IFTA returns with any jurisdiction.
The IFTA Calculator does not submit data to any state, province, base jurisdiction, tax authority, government portal, or third-party filing system.
Any report generated by the IFTA Calculator is for the carrier’s review, reference, and preparation purposes only.
The carrier remains solely responsible for reviewing the report, making any required corrections, verifying applicable data, and filing the IFTA return through the carrier’s base jurisdiction portal or other applicable official filing method.
Any “filed” marker, filing status, completion status, or similar indication inside the platform is for internal record-keeping only and does not constitute official filing, confirmation of filing, payment, acceptance by a jurisdiction, processing by a jurisdiction, approval by a jurisdiction, or compliance with any filing obligation.
7. No Tax, Legal, Accounting, or Compliance Advice
The IFTA Calculator is a software tool only.
The company does not provide tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, audit defense, compliance certification, or regulatory representation through the IFTA Calculator.
The carrier is responsible for consulting its own tax advisor, accountant, legal counsel, compliance specialist, base jurisdiction, or other qualified professional regarding IFTA obligations, exemptions, filing requirements, penalties, interest, amended returns, audits, or jurisdiction-specific issues.
No output, calculation, report, notification, label, export, tax rate, surcharge, status, or system-generated information should be interpreted as professional advice or as confirmation that the carrier’s IFTA return is complete, accurate, accepted, sufficient, or compliant.
8. No Guarantee of ELD, GPS, Location, or Mileage Accuracy
The IFTA Calculator relies on ELD, GPS, telematics, location, vehicle, and other data available in the platform.
Such data may be affected by technical, operational, or human factors, including but not limited to GPS signal loss, device malfunction, hardware issues, software errors, connectivity limitations, delayed synchronization, incorrect vehicle assignment, driver error, manual edits, missing data, duplicated records, or incomplete route information.
The company does not guarantee that ELD, GPS, location, mileage, jurisdiction assignment, border-crossing detection, or vehicle data will be complete, uninterrupted, accurate, error-free, or suitable for IFTA filing without carrier review.
The carrier remains solely responsible for reviewing all ELD-tracked mileage, jurisdiction allocations, location records, vehicle assignments, and mileage reports before using any information for IFTA preparation, filing, audit response, or recordkeeping.
The carrier must correct, supplement, or exclude any incomplete, inaccurate, duplicated, missing, or non-qualifying mileage before relying on any IFTA Calculator report.
9. Carrier Responsibility for Vehicle Eligibility
The IFTA Calculator includes vehicles registered in the carrier’s fleet within the platform.
The system does not independently determine whether a vehicle is an IFTA-qualified vehicle or whether a vehicle should be included in a specific IFTA return.
The carrier is solely responsible for ensuring that:
a. only IFTA-qualified vehicles are used for IFTA calculations and reporting;
b. vehicle records in the platform are complete and accurate;
c. fuel and mileage records relate to the correct vehicles;
d. non-qualified vehicles are excluded or handled separately by the carrier;
e. mixed-fuel fleet situations are identified and handled outside the diesel-only functionality of the current IFTA Calculator.
10. Carrier Responsibility for Mileage Data
The IFTA Calculator relies on mileage data captured through the ELD platform and any corrections, additions, or adjustments made by the carrier.
All ELD-tracked mileage is treated as taxable by default.
The carrier is solely responsible for:
a. reviewing ELD-tracked mileage;
b. confirming the accuracy and completeness of mileage by vehicle, trip, period, and jurisdiction;
c. correcting any missing, incorrect, duplicated, misclassified, or incomplete mileage;
d. adding mileage for jurisdictions not detected by the ELD;
e. identifying and recording any non-taxable or exempt mileage;
f. maintaining supporting documentation for any mileage correction, addition, exemption, or exclusion;
g. selecting the correct reporting quarter when entering, importing, reviewing, or exporting mileage-related data.
The IFTA Calculator does not track, determine, or automatically apply jurisdiction-specific mileage exemptions, including off-highway mileage, reservation roads, agricultural use, special permit travel, temporary exemptions, or other special rules.
11. Carrier Responsibility for Fuel Data
The carrier is solely responsible for entering, importing, reviewing, and maintaining accurate diesel fuel records.
The IFTA Calculator uses fuel records as entered or imported by the carrier.
The company does not verify original fuel receipts, payment status, fuel type, tax payment status, quantity, seller information, purchaser information, vehicle assignment, date, location, or whether a particular purchase qualifies for IFTA credit.
The carrier is solely responsible for:
a. entering all diesel fuel placed into the main supply tank of IFTA-qualified vehicles;
b. excluding reefer fuel, DEF, dyed off-road diesel, tax-exempt fuel, bulk fuel not properly documented, and any other fuel that should not be included in IFTA reporting;
c. ensuring that fuel records relate only to diesel-fueled IFTA-qualified vehicles;
d. correctly identifying whether fuel tax was paid on each fuel purchase;
e. correctly marking each fuel record as Tax Paid or Not Tax Paid;
f. maintaining original fuel receipts, invoices, transaction listings, digital receipts, or other supporting documents outside the system;
g. ensuring fuel records are allocated to the correct vehicle, jurisdiction, and reporting quarter.
The IFTA Calculator records the Tax Paid status as entered by the carrier and uses that value directly in reference calculations. Only tax-paid gallons may qualify for IFTA credits, subject to applicable IFTA and jurisdiction-specific requirements.
12. Tax Rates and Surcharges
The IFTA Calculator obtains tax rates and surcharges from the IFTA Tax Rate Matrix published by IFTA, Inc., based on the system’s rate capture process.
Unless otherwise stated in the product interface, the system may capture applicable tax rates and surcharges on or around the end of each quarter, or at another time determined by the company based on technical and operational availability.
The company does not guarantee that tax rates, surcharges, footnotes, jurisdiction-specific updates, corrections, errata, late publications, exchange rates, or other rate-related information will remain current or error-free after capture.
The carrier is solely responsible for verifying applicable tax rates, surcharges, footnotes, and jurisdiction-specific instructions against the current IFTA Tax Rate Matrix and any applicable base jurisdiction guidance at the time of filing.
13. Reference Calculations and Reports
The IFTA Calculator generates reference calculations based on:
a. ELD-tracked mileage available in the platform;
b. carrier-entered mileage corrections;
c. carrier-added mileage;
d. carrier-entered or imported diesel fuel records;
e. Tax Paid status entered by the carrier;
f. tax rates and surcharges obtained from the IFTA Tax Rate Matrix;
g. fleet and vehicle records available in the platform.
The IFTA Calculator may generate fleet-level and per-vehicle reports showing items such as jurisdiction mileage, taxable mileage, taxable gallons, tax-paid gallons, net taxable gallons, tax due reference amounts, credit due reference amounts, surcharge reference amounts, and fleet average MPG.
Reports generated by the IFTA Calculator are for reference and preparation purposes only.
They are not official IFTA returns, official filing forms, jurisdiction-approved forms, tax advice, legal advice, audit-ready certification, proof of compliance, or proof that the carrier’s records are adequate.
The carrier must independently review, verify, and approve all reports before filing and must make any required corrections before relying on the information.
14. Excluded Services and Excluded Functionality
Unless expressly made available in a future version, the IFTA Calculator does not:
a. file IFTA returns;
b. submit reports to any jurisdiction;
c. produce official jurisdiction-specific filing forms;
d. calculate penalties or interest;
e. calculate amended return obligations;
f. calculate non-IFTA taxes;
g. calculate weight-distance taxes;
h. calculate state-specific mileage taxes;
i. calculate federal HVUT or similar taxes;
j. support fuel types other than diesel;
k. determine IFTA vehicle qualification;
l. determine or apply jurisdiction-specific exemptions;
m. verify fuel receipts or supporting documents;
n. store original fuel receipts or mileage supporting documentation in the current MVP;
o. provide audit defense or audit response services;
p. communicate with jurisdictions on the carrier’s behalf;
q. guarantee that a carrier’s records will be accepted in an IFTA audit;
r. guarantee that any filing prepared using information from the IFTA Calculator will be accepted, complete, accurate, timely, or compliant.
15. Audit Logs and Change History
The IFTA Calculator may keep an audit log of changes made within the system to mileage records, fuel records, and filing status.
The audit log is intended to record internal change history within the platform, including the user who made the change and the date and time of the change, where technically available.
The audit log does not replace the carrier’s obligation to maintain underlying business records, original fuel receipts, trip documentation, dispatch records, route records, exemption support, or any other documentation required for IFTA audit purposes.
The company does not guarantee that the audit log alone will satisfy any IFTA audit requirement.
16. Record Retention and Export
While the carrier’s account is active and the IFTA Calculator subscription is current, the company will retain IFTA-related data within the platform for at least four years, unless otherwise required by law, the General Terms and Conditions, or technical limitations outside the company’s reasonable control.
The carrier acknowledges that IFTA record retention obligations belong to the carrier and may require the carrier to preserve fuel and distance records for at least four years, and longer in certain cases, depending on applicable rules, waivers, audits, disputes, or jurisdiction-specific requirements.
The carrier is solely responsible for exporting, downloading, saving, and preserving its IFTA reports and related records before subscription termination, cancellation, non-payment, suspension, downgrade, account closure, or loss of access.
The company does not guarantee that IFTA-related data, reports, exports, audit logs, or records will remain accessible after termination of the IFTA Calculator subscription or closure of the carrier’s account.
17. Supporting Documentation
In the current MVP version, the IFTA Calculator does not store original fuel receipts, mileage supporting documents, exemption documents, trip logs, dispatch records, route documentation, or similar underlying business records.
The carrier must maintain all such documentation outside the platform and make it available for IFTA audit purposes.
If future versions allow document upload, attachment, or storage, such functionality will be subject to technical limitations, subscription status, file type limitations, storage limits, and any additional terms provided by the company.
18. User Corrections and Editable Data
The IFTA Calculator may allow the carrier to correct mileage, add mileage, enter fuel purchases, import CSV files, and modify relevant data even after a quarter has been marked as filed inside the system.
The carrier is solely responsible for ensuring that any changes made after actual filing are properly reviewed and, if necessary, reflected in amended filings or other actions required by the carrier’s base jurisdiction.
The company is not responsible for discrepancies between data existing in the platform at the time of filing and data later modified, corrected, deleted, imported, or overwritten by the carrier or its users.
The carrier should export and save a copy of the final report and supporting records at the moment of actual filing.
19. User Access and Internal Responsibility
The carrier is responsible for managing user access, permissions, roles, and internal procedures related to use of the IFTA Calculator.
Any action taken by a user with access to the carrier’s account may be treated as an action authorized by the carrier.
The carrier is responsible for reviewing any data entered, imported, corrected, marked, deleted, or exported by its users.
The carrier is also responsible for ensuring that only authorized users accept the disclaimer and these IFTA Calculator Terms on behalf of the carrier.
20. No Guarantee of Compliance or Audit Outcome
The company does not guarantee that use of the IFTA Calculator will result in accurate filings, timely filings, accepted filings, tax compliance, audit acceptance, avoidance of penalties, avoidance of interest, avoidance of assessments, or avoidance of jurisdictional adjustments.
The carrier acknowledges that if records are incomplete, inaccurate, unsupported, missing, or inadequate, a base jurisdiction may make audit adjustments, disallow tax-paid credits, estimate fuel use, adjust fleet MPG, increase taxable distance, or take other actions permitted under applicable IFTA rules and jurisdiction-specific procedures.
The carrier remains solely responsible for all taxes, credits, penalties, interest, assessments, audit adjustments, amended returns, filings, communications, and compliance obligations.
21. Indemnification by Carrier
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the carrier agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, interest, assessments, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:
a. the carrier’s use of or reliance on the IFTA Calculator;
b. inaccurate, incomplete, missing, duplicated, or incorrectly entered mileage, fuel, vehicle, tax-paid, exemption, or reporting-quarter data;
