Why Should You Outsource Fuel Tax & Licensing?

It is easy to register vehicles at home. But if your operations take your trucks into a different province, state or country, look out. Simplicity disappears as soon as you cross a border, and you’re thrown into a bureaucratic maze of regulations. Every jurisdiction has its own complex rules and wants its share of Fuel Tax and Licensing revenue.

The complexity gets multiplied with every vehicle you add to the fleet and every new jurisdiction you travel through.

Do It Yourself Time Hassle

Keeping all of the government departments happy requires an enormous amount of time to sort through all the rules, gather all the receipts and mileage records, do all the calculations and complete all the paperwork.

There are a lot of quirky details to know about. For example:

  • If you’re reporting travel through New York State, should you report unladen or gross weight? Should you include toll mileage or not?
  • If you buy “tax paid” fuel on a First Nation Reserve, can you take credit for it?
  • If you have a truck travelling through Oregon, what steps do you have to take in advance to avoid being double taxed on fuel?
  • If you operate an oilfield service fleet with trips into Saskatchewan, should you take out individual trip permits or permanently license your vehicles to work in the province? Be careful, if you get this detail wrong you could trigger a big Provincial Sales Tax bill.

Is This the Best Use of Your Time?

The rules are quite complicated. The mysteries can be solved however if you put in enough hours to figure them out and fill in the forms.

But is this Fuel Tax & Licensing rigmarole the best use of your time or your staff’s time?

It’s easy to miss little details. Mistakes have expensive consequences.

Risk of Hefty Fines

Auditors can probe your records over the last 5 years and slap you with retroactive fines plus interest. These hefty penalties can evaporate your profits, or in some cases, even sink the company.

The Auditors we’ve interacted with tell us that many of the companies that think they have a handle on the rules are missing key pieces of the puzzle. Tap into our expertise to make sure you don’t fall into an expensive mistake.
