Fuel Taxes
Once permits are purchased, you are required to file taxes. Fuel taxes are computed using the driver daily mileage records and fuel receipts. Mileage taxes are computed using mileage only and are paid in addition to the fuel taxes. Both fuel and mileage taxes are filed electronically with the appropriate states. Payments are made directly from your checking account to the state.
Our experienced staff can organize and enter your driver records for you. This service will free your staff to focus on the daily operation of your company. We will provide you with cost analysis printouts per unit which will allow you to charge back the vehicle owners or properly expense the tax. All records are returned to you upon completion of the computation and filing.
