Next up: the IFTA return for Q4 2027 is due Monday, January 31, 2028.

  • IFTA: if a due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the next business day is the due date. Holidays vary by jurisdiction, so check with your base jurisdiction.
  • CVSA inspection campaigns (International Roadcheck, Operation Safe Driver Week, Brake Safety Week) are not listed because CVSA has not yet announced 2027 dates. It says they will be posted at the end of 2026.

Your own due dates

These depend on your drivers and trucks, so the printout leaves space to write them in.
