Tax and Revenue Administration Fuel Tax Act Information Circular IFTA-6R1

Note: Due to the Government of Alberta reorganization in November 2004, where applicable, the web versions of our documents have been updated to change references from "Minister of Revenue" or "Provincial Treasurer" to "Minister of Finance". References to "Revenue Canada" or "Canada Customs and Revenue Agency" have been changed to "Canada Revenue Agency" to reflect that name change as well. The paper version of this document is available from Tax and Revenue Administration and if applicable, will be updated as time permits.

1. If there is a total mail service disruption, declared by the Minister of Alberta Government Services to be an emergency mail situation, Tax and Revenue Administration has special measures in place to minimize the inconvenience to carriers. Correspondence, including returns, may be taken to the nearest Alberta Provincial Government Building, ATB Financial or other designated provincial business location for transfer by courier.
   
   
2. Tax and Revenue Administration will send cheques and any vital information to the ATB Financial location selected by the carrier for pick-up. Alternatively, carriers may choose to use private sector couriers to deliver or pick up documents at their own expense.
   
   
3. Funds may also be forwarded by wire transfer.  For information on wire transfers, contact Tax and Revenue Administration at (780) 427-3044.  For Alberta toll free, call 310-0000 then enter (780) 427-3044.
   
   
4. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to permit the delivery of tax remittances and returns on or before the due date.
