WeightDistancesInterest RateLicense and decals have measurement in inches and

centimetresTax returns may be reported in miles, gallons and US

dollars for American jurisdictions and in kilometres, litres and Canadian dollars for Canadian jurisdictions (P720) but payments from Canadians have to be made in US dollars to American jurisdictions.

Metric, dollars, and interest rates5

Canada is a bilingual country, English/French and if Mexico ever joins IFTA, their official language is Spanish.

In order for jurisdictions to effectively communicate with each other for IFTA related purposes, it is suggested that an official language should be defined, “without restraining the base jurisdiction to communicate with its licensees according to their laws”.

What do you think?

IntentTo create an article that will make English the official language for communication between jurisdictions and with IFTA, Inc. 

New Article of the Agreement

R160 COMMUNICATION LANGUAGEIt is the purpose of this agreement to determine that English should be the language when communicating to IFTA, Inc. and to member jurisdictions for required information not limited to: licensees’ status, transmittals and audit reports. All other information may be maintained in the legal language of the state or the province.
