International Fuel Tax Agreement
Okay kiddo, so the International Fuel Tax Agreement is like a really big rule book made by adults who like to drive big trucks.
Imagine you and your friends playing a game where you all have toy cars and you race them around. Now, let's say that you all have to pay a little bit of money for every time you fill up your toy car with gas.
Well, the International Fuel Tax Agreement is like that, but for grown-ups who drive big trucks all around North America.
Whenever the drivers of those big trucks buy fuel in one state or province, they have to pay a special tax called a fuel tax. And like any rule book, there are lots of different rules and regulations that the drivers and the companies they work for have to follow.
But why is there a fuel tax? Well, it helps to pay for things like highways, bridges, and other important infrastructure that the trucks use when they're driving around.
The International Fuel Tax Agreement helps make sure that all the different states and provinces are following the same rules when it comes to buying fuel and paying those fuel taxes. That way, it's fair for everyone and helps keep the roads in good shape for all those big trucks!
