The IFTA, Inc. Clearinghouse will be providing a mechanism for payments to and from other Jurisdictions based on Transmittal Information. The totals derived for funds netting are collected exclusively from the Summary Totals file uploaded to the Clearinghouse.

The total that a jurisdiction will owe or receive will be based on a netting process for all participating jurisdictions. The final net amount will be one final total you will be owed or have to fund to your EFT banking accounts.

Participating jurisdictions will have to follow their normal procedures for paying non-participating jurisdictions.

All participating members of the IFTA, Inc. Clearinghouse will be required to participate in Funds Netting.

Upload your data: The Jurisdiction may upload as many transmittals as they wish in the given time period as specified by the funds netting calendar. All transmittals that are uploaded during the time period will be processed as one batch for that time period. During the upload period no files will be loaded into the Clearinghouse until at or around the 1st of any given month, as specified in the funds netting calendar.

View, correct and Re-load data as needed: After the upload period, all transmittals will be loaded into the clearinghouse database at or around the 15th of a given month. Over the subsequent 15 days, your jurisdiction will be able to view and replace data as needed. This will be the time to check for the accuracy of your transmittals.

Funds netted: On the 15th of the month, or thereabouts, the actual funds netting totals will be generated. At this point, any transmittals loaded to the Clearinghouse are considered final, no corrections, removals or additions can take place at this point.

A late transmittal is one of which is not loaded into the IFTA, Inc. Clearinghouse by the 15th of the month, or as specified in the funds netting calendar.
