ALK Technologies Releases PC*MILER|FuelTax 12

Instantly Calculates Fuel and Mileage Taxes, Refunds and Credits

PRINCETON, NJ – OCTOBER 17, 2006 - ALK Technologies, Inc. has announced the release of PC*MILER|FuelTax 12, the most comprehensive and accurate fuel tax reporting software available for motor carriers and private fleets. This new version is the twelfth annual release of the enterprise business solution and 2006 marks the twentieth annual release of PC*MILER, recognized as the transportation industry routing and mileage standard. New features for this update include 53’ routing availability and a Tractor Odometer Report which allows the user to see the odometer readings for each tractor.

As users have learned over 12 years, PC*MILER|FuelTax automates the entire fuel tax process. The application generates rates and forms for all United States and Canadian jurisdictions and instantly calculates fuel and mileage taxes, refunds and credits. The application also provides state mileage summaries, fleet performance reports and quarterly updates for compliance with the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and the International Registration Plan (IRP) provisions. These quarterly updates can be downloaded from ALK’s website at www.alk.com/fueltaxupdates, making up-to-the minute data easy to access. Because revisions are available in this convenient way, up to two weeks is added between the availability of the update and tax filing deadlines. Quarterly tax rates and forms are available immediately and are accessible at all times.

“There are a few key drivers that we consider when developing each new version of PC*MILER|FuelTax. We leverage our close ties to IFTA to ensure that our product is 100% compliant and we strive to accommodate our customer's requirements for simplicity and precision,” said Monica Darrow, product manager.

PC*MILER|FuelTax can import data from mobile communications and transportation management systems and so provides a comprehensive fuel management solution. The application seamlessly integrates with PC*MILER and PC*MILER|Streets to automatically calculate mileage and trip times. The application can also be used as a stand-alone product giving the user complete flexibility to accommodate the program to company operations.
