Full -Track Ballot #05 -2015 August 12, 2015 San Antonio, TX August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #05 -2015 • Is not a dual fuel issue – The same problem exists for any interjurisdictional carrier with a pure LNG vehicle – We need a consistent process for LNG reporting and disbursement of taxes between jurisdictions (Like CNG FT#5 - 2013) August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #05 -2015 • Is not a dual fuel issue (continued) – There is no impact to sovereignty (a jurisdiction tax rates and units of measure are their responsibility) – Other standards exist to ensure consistent reporting and distribution of taxes between IFTA members (e. g. , distances, volumes, and currency) • All we are changing is how to report LNG for IFTA purposes August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #5 -2015 • Natural gas is sold in two physical states: 1. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) • A high pressure gas (e. g. , 3, 000 to 3, 600 psi) 2. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): • A super-cooled liquid (e. g. , -260°F or -170°C) August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #05 -2015 • LNG is sold three different units of measure: 1. Gallons (3. 5 lb per G) in 24 jurisdictions 2. Diesel Gallon Equivalents jurisdictions (6. 06 lb per DGE) in 24 3. Kilograms in 10 jurisdictions August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #05 -2015 CDN Jurisdictions US Jurisdictions Fuel Purchases Kilograms DGE - Energy Equivalent (6. 06 pounds = 1 DGE) DG - Straight Weight (3. 5 lb = 1 gallon) Two Questions: 1. What does a carrier report regarding LNG purchases to their base jurisdiction? 2. How does the carrier convert their purchases accurately and consistently?
FT #05 -2015 CDN Jurisdictions Kilograms US Jurisdictions DLE - Energy Equivalent (0. 73 kg = 1 DLE) DGE – Energy Equivalent (6. 06 pounds = 1 DGE) DG - Straight Weight (3. 5 lb = 1 gallon)
FT #05 -2015 P 1320 - FUELS NOT MEASURED IN LITERS OR GALLONS For reporting tax rates, and audit results and for transmittals between IFTA jurisdictions, liquefied natural gas shall be reported in diesel energy equivalent measures, using the following conversion factors: – a diesel gallon equivalent in U. S. jurisdictions weighs 6. 06 pounds, and – a diesel liter equivalent in Canadian jurisdictions weighs 0. 73 kilograms). August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #05 -2015 CDN Jurisdictions US Jurisdictions Fuel Reporting Kilograms DLE (Energy Equivalent) (0. 73 kg = 1 DLE) DGE (Energy Equivalent) (6. 06 pounds = 1 DGE) DG (Straight Weight ) (3. 5 lb = 1 gallon) 100 136. 99 DLE 36. 19 DGE 62. 657 gallons Tax Rate $0. 25 CDN $0. 1825 CDN $0. 59 US $0. 34 US Total Tax $25. 00 CDN $21. 50 US Amount Purchased
FT #05 -2015 – Jurisdictional changes: • Convert and provide to IFTA their LNG tax rates in energy equivalents (if not already) – IFTA converts for volume and currency differences and posts for use by all jurisdictions as they do now • Obtain LNG energy equivalent tax rates from IFTA and then: – – August 12 -13 Share with carriers Instruct carriers to use and how to convert their purchases: » Kilograms to DLE or DGE » Gallons to DLE or DGE 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
FT #05 -2015 – Jurisdictional Changes: • Jurisdiction tax systems process tax returns in energy equivalents • Transmit via the Clearinghouse (and non. Clearinghouse jurisdictions) in energy equivalents • Report audit activities in energy equivalents August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
Questions / Discussion August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
Updates - Duel Fuel • Four new fuel types have been added to the Clearinghouse for dual fuel reporting: – For Diesel / LNG vehicles: • • DL - The fuel type to report diesel used in a dual fuel vehicle with LNG; DLG - The fuel type to report LNG used in a dual fuel vehicle with diesel – For Diesel / CNG vehicles • • August 12 -13 DC - The fuel type used to report for diesel used in a dual fuel vehicle with CNG; and DCG - The fuel type to used to report CNG used in a dual fuel vehicle with diesel 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
Updates - Duel Fuel • DL and DC fuel types are: – Diesel fuel, taxed at the diesel tax rate shown on the tax rate matrix. – Simply used to report diesel fuel used in dual fuel vehicles (where LNG or CNG is the second fuel). • DLG and DCG fuel types are: – LNG and CNG respectively, taxed at the applicable rates shown on the tax rate matrix. – Simply used to report LNG and CNG used in dual fuel vehicles (where diesel is the second fuel).

Thanks!
FYI - Following slides are for reference purposes in case questions come up, and include and example of a complete IFTA Return reporting process for three fleets: • Pure diesel • DL / DLG • DC / DCG August 12 -13 2015 Annual Business Meeting San Antonio, Texas
Dual Fuel Vehicles - 101 • At a high level: – Pure Diesel Purchased / Distance – Dual Fuel Diesel Purchased / Distance LNG Purchased / Distance
Dual Fuel Vehicles - 101 – Think of the dual fuel vehicle as two different trucks (or fleets) DL Purchased / Prorated Distance DLG Purchased / Prorated Distance
Recommended Reporting Process • At a high level: – Dual fuel vehicles must be treated and reported separately (e. g. , gasoline fleet, diesel fuel fleet, LNG fleet, dual fuel fleet) – Duel fuel vehicles must be treated and reported as two vehicles: • Separately reporting the distances travelled and fuel purchased • Pro-rating the distances to avoid double counting Fleet Type Pure Diesel Dual Fuel Type IFTA Return or Return Line Actual Distance Travelled Distances Reported Diesel “D” Return #1 100 Diesel “DL” Return #2 100 (pro-rated) 25 LNG “DLG” Return #3 (pro-rated) 75
