1. IFTA/IRP Managers and Law Enforcement Workshop September 2012

2.  Each year $ 35 Billion Collected in Taxes and Fees  Funds are returned to States  Apportionments based on formulas  Due to inconsistent laws and policies, models are used  Target is to arrive at amount of fuel used on highway

3. Source% of Revenue Fuel Taxes Gasoline18.4 ¢ per gallon69 % Special Fuels24.4 ¢ per gallon23 % HVUT2.5 % Tire Taxes1.0 % Truck and Trailer Tax4.5% Based on FY 2010 information

4.  Average State – 2% ◦ 2% of Special Fuels = $ 160,000,000  1% Difference ◦ $ 1,600,000  We know how much is collected, but we cannot attribute Federal receipts to individual States.

5.  States report amounts monthly to FHWA ◦ Total taxable gallons ◦ Subtractions  Exemptions  Refunds ◦ Need for comparative amounts ◦ Modeling  Based on third-party information  May use State or modeled data

6.  Without adjustment, IFTA purchase data would be credited to State of purchase  Need to report net IFTA transmittals on 551- M  Some States report both receipts and credits  Some States do not report data  To simplify reporting, for FHWA purposes, all IFTA activity is reported as Diesel

7.  Find who in your State files FHWA 551-M report. We can provide the contact name  Make sure consistent data is reported  Data is usually reviewed by State Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Division Office (in each State Capitol)  In MAP-21, apportionments are more reliant on motor fuel data
