  1. Town Hall MeetingJuly 15, 2009Manchester, NH

  2. Issues submitted to IFTA, Inc. One USDOT Number – multiple IFTA licensees 3% Audit Requirement New VT Surcharge Re-Examination and Re-Audit/Reasonable Cause How to get rid of the gas tax CDs for ABM

  3. Multiple accounts tied to one USDOT number Two accounts active; one inactive In this example, a carrier allowed two owner/operators to use its USDOT number to apply for an IFTA license. One of those owner/operators did not file tax returns and the license was revoked. The carrier received IFTA citations because of the owner/operator with a revoked license.

  4. IFTA Audit Committee's survey on the 3% audit coverage requirement.  Although 35 jurisdictions responded to the survey that the 3% requirement is appropriate (compared to 14 who responded that the requirement is too high, 1 who responded that the requirement is too low), support for change to the 3% requirement is exactly even, 25 for and 25 against.   Also, 32 jurisdictions responded they encountered difficulty in meeting the 3% requirement and provided various reasons.   

  5. Since there still seems to be some concerns regarding the 3% requirement, is there plan to review the 3% requirement? 

  6. How is the 3% requirement actually arrived at so that one can say whether it is appropriate or not? 

  7. Has the 3% requirement been compared to other yardsticks to see whether it is too high or too low?  I have taken a look at some other revenue departments' website and found that risk assessment contributes a lot to the appropriate level of audit coverage, so that a fixed audit coverage may not work all the time.

  8. Should risk and potential revenue loss be considered instead of a blanket 3% requirement?   I also found in one website that considering the risk, targeted audit coverage on a specific sector is just around 1.2%, so that the department can focus their attention and resources to other higher risk sectors. 

  9. Should some flexibility be provided on the 3% requirement, or are there alternatives to just auditing 3% (such as demonstration of internal control) that we can consider so that we can make best use of our audit resources?
