Fields that matter
For a fuel receipt tracker truck drivers can use, the core details are the date, the jurisdiction, and the volume on the receipt. That is the information needed to sort receipts into the correct quarterly reporting period, which runs January 1 to March 31, April 1 to June 30, July 1 to September 30, or October 1 to December 31.

Photo of the receipt
Haulbook will keep a photo of each receipt on the phone so the record stays with the trip details. That makes it easier to review the receipt later when the quarter is being organized.

What not to invent
The tracker should not store a tax rate. The base jurisdiction provides the tax return and the tax rates each quarter, and rates can change.
The base jurisdiction provides a tax return and the tax rates each quarter, and processes the quarterly returns. IFTA, Inc. also publishes tax rate files.
Not tax advice. Haulbook is not IFTA, Inc. and not your base jurisdiction. The rate is published quarterly by IFTA and must be checked on the official IFTA site.
