North Carolina IFTA and Fuel Use Tax Temporary Trip Permits
Trip Permits
North Carolina IFTA temporary permits are issued by the North Carolina Excise Tax Division, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Requests may be made by telephone, mail, or fax. IFTA temporary permits are issued to motor carriers that are currently registered with the Division as an IFTA carrier in good standing. These permits may be transmitted via fax to the location of the vehicle. IFTA temporary permits allow motor carriers to operate in all IFTA member jurisdictions; however, the motor carrier must have a copy of their IFTA license in the vehicle in addition to the IFTA temporary permit. There is no charge for an IFTA temporary permit and it is valid for 30 days. Operations under this permit must be included on the quarterly IFTA tax return. North Carolina IFTA carriers who need permits after office hours must purchase a North Carolina Highway Fuel Use temporary trip permit. (R263, R650)
North Carolina fuel use temporary trip permits are issued by permitting services. Prior arrangements must be made with a permitting service before entering North Carolina; otherwise, the motor carrier may be penalized $100.00 for not having a valid decal or fuel use temporary trip permit. Fuel use temporary trip permits are not issued by the Excise Tax Division.
North Carolina fuel use temporary trip permits are issued to motor carriers who do not have proper credentials to travel in North Carolina. Fuel use temporary trip permits allow motor carriers to travel in North Carolina only. Motor carriers must contact other jurisdictions if authorization is needed to operate in those jurisdictions. Contact information for each jurisdiction is located at iftach.org. North Carolina fuel use temporary trip permits are valid for three (3) days. The cost for each fuel use temporary permit is $50.00; however, the issuing permitting service may charge additional fees. (R310) (N.C.G.S. 105-449.49)
