Filing your quarterly IFTA return
You can easily generate and print your IFTA return online at ExpressIFTA, or file online at the official Motor Carrier Transportation Division website of the State of Oregon.
Renewing your IFTA license in Oregon
On December 31st, your IFTA license and decals will expire. If you have not received your IFTA sticker replacement before this date, there is a grace period. However, your current license and decals may remain displayed during the grace period that extends through February of the following year. You should submit your IFTA license application before November 30th in order to avoid any delays or penalties.
Watch out for these penalties
Oregon charges a late penalty of $50 or 10% of the net tax due, whichever is greater. Interest is computed on overdue taxes in each jurisdiction at a rate of .4167% per month. Even if you are due a net refund, interest still applies to each jurisdiction for any underpayment of fuels use tax to that jurisdiction. This interest is calculated from the day after the IFTA quarterly due date for each month, or fraction of a month, until paid.
Oregon IFTA Exemptions
The state of Oregon does not include recreational vehicles in the IFTA tax unless they are used in conjunction with any business endeavor. Recreational vehicles include motor homes, pickup trucks with attached campers and buses when used exclusively for personal pleasure by an individual.
