Running a fleet in Indiana, the Crossroads of America, makes multi-state weeks the normal pattern. High Point GPS handles the hardware, installation and the per-jurisdiction records an IFTA return depends on, filed through the Department of Revenue's Fuel Tax System.

## Highlights

- IFTA filed through Indiana's Fuel Tax System, administered by the Department of Revenue
- Free decals, with a $25 licence application fee instead, the inverse of most fee structures
- Per-jurisdiction distance capture for fleets crossing into Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky
- Maintenance and fault reporting for high-mileage interstate duty cycles

## What does IFTA cost in Indiana?

Indiana charges $25 to apply for the IFTA licence and nothing for decals, the reverse of the structure most jurisdictions use. For a large fleet that is the cheaper arrangement by some distance, because the cost does not multiply per vehicle.

Filing runs through the Department of Revenue's Fuel Tax System. The fee is the small part. The quarterly return and the records behind it are the work.

## Why do Indiana fleets cross so many jurisdictions?

An Indiana fleet can touch four states in a day as a matter of course. Every crossing splits the distance record, and a driver cannot reconstruct a quarter of those splits accurately from memory or an envelope of fuel receipts.

Capturing the splits automatically means less work at filing time and a much better answer when a state asks how you reached a figure. That question is most of what an audit is.

## FAQ

### What does IFTA cost in Indiana?

Indiana charges a $25 licence application fee and nothing for decals. Carriers file returns through the Indiana Department of Revenue's Fuel Tax System. The quarterly filing still needs distance and fuel by jurisdiction, so the record-keeping, not the fee, is where most of the effort goes.

### Why does the fee structure matter for a larger fleet?

Indiana's cost is per licence, not per vehicle. In a jurisdiction that charges per decal set, the bill grows with every truck you add. A flat application fee stays the same at five trucks or fifty, so the saving gets larger as an Indiana fleet grows.

### Does the platform record distance by state automatically?

Yes. The platform captures per-jurisdiction distance as the vehicle travels. That is what the IFTA return needs, and it is the hardest thing to rebuild after the fact, especially for an Indiana fleet crossing into several neighbouring states in the same week.
