Six jurisdictions enacted a gas tax holiday during the 2nd quarter of 2022. These changes may impact your 2nd quarter 2022 IFTA tax return if you travelled in any of these jurisdictions from April 1 – June 30, 2022 . Please see the below information when filling out your tax return.
In the jurisdictions of CT, NL, and AB, the gas tax holiday either doesn't apply to IFTA carriers or is reflected in the tax rates published on the IFTA return. You don't need to change your reporting for these jurisdictions and split-rates by date.
Due to the complicated nature of New York’s gas tax holiday, you'll need to complete an extra calculation for taxable gallons on your tax return. Go to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for more information.
