The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is the mutual agreement between 48 states in the U.S and 10 provinces in Canada that allows drivers to report and pay taxes for their vehicle with only one fuel tax license.
Audit SupportA new entrant audit occurs during the company’s first 18 months in business, although it usually happens within the company’s first six months after DOT has assigned your business a number. DOT designed this audit to make sure you’re off on the right foot, and you’re complying with all the correct registrations.You may also get a new entrant audit if you have made significant changes to your business. For example, if you have been involved in intrastate commerce for many years and decide to go interstate, you would then be subject to a new entrant audit regardless of how many years you had been in business.
Targeted AuditYou will be the subject of a targeted audit if your CSA score is high. Two or more alerts will put you on a DOT-monitored list. Any additional alerts will almost guarantee an audit.
Compliance ReviewBefore DOT does a compliance review, they will contact you by phone a week or two before they arrive to do the actual audit. Several different factors can trigger a compliance review.
