Connecticut IFTA Requirements
Who needs an Connecticut IFTA license?
You need an IFTA license if you operate in Connecticut and at least one other jurisdiction with vehicles that are:
- Three or more axles (any weight)
- Over 26,000 lbs. gross or registered weight
- Combined weight over 26,000 lbs.
Who needs to file Connecticut IFTA taxes?
All license holders must file quarterly IFTA tax returns, even if no miles were traveled.
Note: Licenses remain active until officially closed.

- Delays with renewals or suspended accounts
- Failed audits and penalties
Why do errors happen?
- Mileage and fuel data accumulate quickly — it’s tough to catch every issue. Records often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
- Carriers often depend entirely on ELD IFTA reports, thinking they’re complete — but there’s no way to verify them.
- Fuel card reports may exclude cash purchases or missing transactions.
* When these gaps exist, your IFTA filing will be wrong — and you’ll be held accountable with your base jurisdiction.

CT Highway Use Fee
In addition to the Connecticut IFTA, CT Highway Use Fee also needs to be registered and filed for!
- The Highway Use Fee is calculated based on an eligible motor vehicle’s weight and the number of miles driven in Connecticut.
- For purposes of the Highway Use Fee, an “eligible motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle, as defined insection 14-1 of the Connecticut General Statutes, that (A) has a gross weight of twenty-six thousand pounds or more, and (B) carries a classification between Class 8 and Class 13, inclusive, under the Federal Highway Administration vehicle classification system (FHWA). An “eligible motor vehicle” does not include a motor vehicle carrying or transporting milk or dairy product to or from a dairy farm that holds a license to ship milk.
- CT will issue one permit to the carrier. The carrier will be required to place a copy of the permit in each eligible vehicle operated by the carrier in Connecticut.
