Indiana's notes on the IFTA matrix

Effective January 1, 2024, Indiana has adopted fuel tax rates for newly recognized fuel types: Electricity (EV), Hydrogen(HD), and Hythane (HT). Indiana’s fuel tax rate for these fuel types is based on the taxable distance traveled on Indiana Roads. The tax due for these fuel types is calculated by multiplying Indiana taxable distance traveled by the Indiana tax rate (D x R = T). Changed rates from 0.3400 to .03500 and from 0.5700 to 0.5900 Changed Rate changed from Gasoline 35 to 36 Sp Fuel from 59 to 61 Changed Rates for Gasoline from 0.3600 to 0.3700 & Special Fuel from 0.6100 to 0.6300 Indiana has issued a “gas tax holiday” on gasoline and gasohol fuel types. Effective July 1, 2026 – September 5, 2026 the fuel tax rate for gasoline and gasohol will be $0.00 per gallon. All other fuel types are unaffected.

Common questions

What is the Indiana IFTA diesel tax rate for the 4th quarter 2026?

$0.6300 per gallon, for fuel used October to December 2026. It is the same as in Q3 2026.

What Indiana rate goes on my 3rd quarter 2026 return?

$0.6300 per gallon for diesel. That return covers July to September 2026 and is due October 31, 2026.

What is a surcharge line?

Some states (for example Kentucky and Virginia) add a separate surcharge on fuel used in their state. It is listed as its own line on the IFTA matrix and on the return. The diesel totals on these pages add the surcharge to the base rate.

Why are Canadian rates shown per litre and in two currencies?

IFTA lists every rate both in U.S. dollars per U.S. gallon and in Canadian dollars per litre, using one exchange rate per quarter. A U.S.-based carrier files in gallons and U.S. dollars; a Canadian-based carrier files in litres and Canadian dollars.

Do I owe tax twice if I buy fuel in one state and drive in another?

No. You owe each state tax on the fuel you burned there (miles there ÷ your fleet MPG × that state's rate). The tax you already paid at the pump is credited. The IFTA return adds it up: you pay the states you under-paid and get credit from the ones you over-paid.
