Overview #
Fuel receipts should be retained long enough to satisfy both IFTA and jurisdictional audit requirements.
Recommended Retention Period #
Most jurisdictions recommend retaining records for at least:
- Four years
- Or longer if an audit is pending
Records to Keep #
- Fuel receipts
- Fuel card reports
- Bulk fuel records
- Fuel summaries
- Supporting documentation
Why Retention Matters #
Missing fuel records are among the most common causes of audit assessments and denied fuel tax credits.
How Advanced IFTA Helps #
Advanced IFTA stores digital fuel records, OCR receipt images, and reporting data to support long-term compliance and audit readiness.
