Audit Committee
Support

The AC is in support of this ballot.  Additionally, the AC recommends an archive of prior year exemptions be maintained for the purposes of conducting audits.


BRITISH COLUMBIA
Support

BC would also suggest there be a modification to the IFTA exemption database so that it informs jurisdictions and licencees when a jurisdiction has made a change.


CALIFORNIA

COLORADO

CONNECTICUT
Support We support the ballot however we do have a question for the authors.  How would the program compliance review teams propose to enforce this requirement if passed?

The current data may not be reliable because mandatory reporting is not required. It is better to direct the carriers to IFTA website instead of multiple states for the information.


KANSAS
Support

Exemption data is very important and needs to be kept up to date for both the carrier and the jurisdictions.  Audit needs accurate data in order to complete audits on behalf of fellow jurisdictions.

Support

Minnesota agrees it is important for a properly completed tax return to have the data current  and readily available.  It may be helpful to have a summary page that lists the exemptions for all jurisdictions rather than querying several documents in determining the exemptions when completing the IFTA tax return.   


MISSOURI
Support Missouri supports and also apologizes to the members as its exemption database has had incorrect information published and has not been updated to reflect the proper information.

ONTARIO
Support The database is currently being under utilized despite being redesigned in 2010 based on membership feedback. Ontario believes by making the update a mandatory requirement, it will allow for greater reliance on the database by providing reliable and relevant information in one central location, the IFTA, Inc. website.

QUEBEC
Support If updated regularly, the exemptions database will be more helpful.
