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.   

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.

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.

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.

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.
