*NOTE: ALL CANADIAN LITERS MUST BE CONVERTED TO GALLONS. ONE LITER EQUALS .2642 GALLONS.
ALL CANADIAN KILOMETERS MUST BE CONVERTED TO MILES. ONE KILOMETER EQUALS .62137 MILES.
ALL MILES AND GALLON FIGURES SHOULD BE ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER.
SCHEDULE A - MILES PER GALLON CALCULATION
The miles per gallon (MPG) figure will be used to determine the gallons of fuel consumed in each jurisdiction. Calculate the
fleet MPG for the current reporting period for each product type listed. Divide the total miles traveled in all IFTA and non-IFTA
jurisdictions (including total temporary trip permit miles) by the total fuel consumed in all jurisdictions. Round the number to
the nearest two decimal places. Example: 5.768 rounds to 5.77.
SCHEDULE B - SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
Column (1) Jurisdiction - In alphabetical order, indicate the member jurisdictions in which you operated during the period.
Report each fuel type for each jurisdiction on a separate line. Miles traveled in jurisdictions that are not members of IFTA
should be recorded as OT.
Column (2) Product Type - Only one product type per line is allowed. Enter the product type by abbreviations:
DI - Diesel
LN - Liquid Natural Gas
E8 - E85
GA - Gasoline
CN - Compressed Natural Gas
M8 - M85
GH - Gasohol
ET - Ethanol
A5 - A55
LP - Propane
MT - Methanol
BD - Biodiesel
Column (3) Total Jurisdiction Miles - Enter the total miles traveled by jurisdiction for each product type. Total miles should
include taxable and nontaxable miles. Be sure to report all miles for vehicles displaying IFTA decals, both interstate and
intrastate operations. The sum of total miles in Schedule B, Column 3 should equal the sum of total miles reported in
Schedule A.
Column (4) Taxable Jurisdiction Miles - Enter the total taxable miles traveled by jurisdiction for each product type. If you
deduct tax exempt miles, it is your responsibility to provide records of proper exemption for future review. You must contact
jurisdictions individually to determine exempt miles. Miles traveled while operating under a North Carolina IFTA temporary
permit are taxable.
Column (5) Taxable Gallons - Enter the total taxable gallons of fuel consumed for each jurisdiction. To determine this figure,
divide Taxable Jurisdiction Miles (Column 4) by the average MPG for that product type (Schedule A). Be sure to report all
fuel for vehicles displaying an IFTA decal, both interstate and intrastate operations.
NOTE: Some jurisdictions have an additional surcharge. This surcharge is computed on taxable gallons. For each
jurisdiction that requires a surcharge, copy the taxable gallons from Column 5 to a separate line including jurisdiction and
product type. Multiply the gallons in Column 5 by the surcharge tax rate to determine the surcharge due and enter this
amount in Column 9.
Column (6) Taxpaid Gallons - Enter gallons by product type that were bought at the pump and included the fuel tax at the
time of purchase and withdrawals from bulk storage if the fuel is tax-paid. Include fuel purchased while operating under
a North Carolina IFTA temporary permit or a North Carolina temporary trip permit. If you operated under a temporary trip
permit issued by another jurisdiction, contact that jurisdiction for regulations on reporting fuel purchases while operating
under the permit. NOTE: Some jurisdictions do not collect fuel tax at the pump. Do not report any purchases that did not
include the fuel tax.
