International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)
IFTA applies to qualified vehicles operating in more than one IFTA jurisdiction. A qualified motor vehicle is a motor vehicle used, designed, or maintained for transportation of persons or property and that:
- Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds; or
- Has three or more axles regardless of weight; or
- Is used in combination, when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight.
Vehicles operated by the state of Kansas or any of its agencies or subdivisions, the United States or any of its agencies, any agency of two or more states, or any agency of one or more states and the United States, are not subject to IFTA in Kansas. Any vehicles having farm registration or any school buses operated by, for, or on behalf of a state, any subdivision of a state, or any private or privately operated school or schools, are also exempt from IFTA in Kansas.
