UPCOMING BALLOT IFTA FULL TRACK PRELIMINARY BALLOT PROPOSAL #XX-2012 Sponsor IFTA Agreement Procedures Committee IFTA Program Compliance Review Committee Date Submitted Proposed Effective Date Manual Sections to be Amended(January 1996 Version, Effective July 1, 1998, as revised) IFTA Procedures Manual Section P700 Subject History/Digest As technology advances, requests from licensees to file their quarterly IFTA tax returns online have increased. Jurisdictions have increasingly accommodated licensees in this regard; some even requiring that licensees file online. It was determined that P700 does not adequately address what should be included or captured in online filings, and what fields should be calculated fields, and what fields require data input from either the licensee, or the base jurisdiction. Therefore, the IFTA Agreement Procedures Committee and the IFTA Program Compliance Review Committee formed a subcommittee, the Electronic Filing Subcommittee to ballot language that would provide guidance and consistency among the jurisdictions, regarding data elements that should be captured in electronic filings.
