INTRASTATE TAX (KIT) ELECTRONIC FILING
KY had a state of Emergency from 05/11/2026 – 06/09/2026, so our KIT ​has split filing periods. Please ensure you are filing the split periods accordingly:
  • ​​​4/1/2026 to 5/10/2026 (regular tax rate)

  • ​5/11/2026 to 6/9/2026 (reduced tax rate)

  • ​6/10/2026 to 6/30/2026 (regular tax rate)



  • You must have a registered Kentucky Online Gateway account to file taxes electronically. If you encounter issues with registration, refer to the Kentucky Online Gateway FAQs.

  • The KIT license requires quarterly tax filings regardless of travel for all qualified vehicles through KIT E-File

    • ​If you did not travel during a quarter, you must file zero miles to avoid a penalty, interest, and a $500 revocation fee.

  • Acceptable payment methods include Credit Card or ACH.


Note: If carriers need to amend taxes for KIT, they will need to contact the Division of Motor Carriers.​
