Intrastate Tax (KIT) is now merged with the website for IRP/IFTA! If you are new to the website there are instructional videos available. If further assistance is needed email tax.dmc@ky.gov or qp.dmc@ky.gov
KIT is a fuel tax license for Kentucky based carriers that never leave KY with vehicles that have a combined licensed weight of 26,001 lbs. or greater or with power units that have 3 or more axles, regardless of weight.
APPLY FOR A KIT LICENSE
If a KIT license is needed, complete the
Kentucky Trucking Application form TC 95-1.
Paper applications may take 10-14 business days to process. Incomplete applications will be returned.
For questions regarding the KIT License, email
qp.dmc@ky.gov.
Farm-plated vehicles are exempt from paying the KIT tax.
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:
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.
