Please contact the Fuel Taxes Division if you have any questions.

    You can obtain an application for programs administered by the Fuel Taxes Division by contacting the Fuel Taxes Division. Applications are also available by downloading and printing the document using the links on this page.

    California Fuel Trip Permits

    If you operate a qualified vehicle interstate before you receive your IFTA credentials or Interstate User Diesel Fuel Tax License, you must purchase fuel trip permits for each jurisdiction in which you travel, including a permit to enter California. California Fuel Trip Permits are available from most permit services, some DMV offices, some truck stops, or directly from the BOE. You may purchase a California Fuel Trip Permit from the BOE by sending $30.00 (check or money order) for each permit to the Motor Carrier Section, State Board of Equalization, 450 N Street, MIC: 65, P.O. Box 942879, Sacramento, CA 94279-0065.
