How do I file my IFTA fuel tax returns?
The ministry will send to you an IFTA Quarterly Tax Return and Schedule at least 30 days before the due date. Please refer to Guide for Completing the International Fuel Tax Agreement Quarterly Tax Return and Schedule to help you complete the return. You will be required to file IFTA Quarterly Tax Returns with Ontario and to report your operations in each IFTA jurisdiction, by the filing due dates of:
- April 30th
- July 31st
- October 31st
- January 31st
Note: Returns must be postmarked, hand delivered or filed online (using ONT-TAXS online) by the last day of the month following the close of the reporting period. If the last day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the next business day shall be considered the due date.
I made a mistake on my return, and the cheque received from the ministry is for more or less money than I am entitled. What do I do with the cheque?
Mail the cheque to the Client Accounts and Services Branch with an amended IFTA Quarterly Tax Return.
- If you owe tax, remit the payment with the amended return.
- When we process your amended return, if you are entitled to a refund, you will receive a new refund cheque in the correct amount.
What happens if my return is not filed and payment is not received (if applicable), by the filing due date?
If you fail to file your return and pay any taxes owing, you will be charged interest and penalty. Further, your IFTA licence may be cancelled.
