To simplify the reporting of motor fuel use tax, one quarterly tax return is filed for fuel consumed in all participating jurisdictions. Tax returns must be filed even when there is no tax due, regardless of whether there were Oregon only operations or no operations for the reporting period.

Oregon issues the following tax credentials to approved IFTA applicants:

  • A pair of IFTA decals for each qualified motor vehicle in the fleet requested.
