Alaska Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax here, and Alaska sits outside IFTA and IRP entirely, since no road ties it to the Lower 48. You pay Alaska's state fuel tax at the pump (one of the lowest in the nation) and register in-state. At 55,000 lb and up you still owe the federal 2290 HVUT (IRS Form 2290) — that one's federal and follows you everywhere. No per-mile credential exists.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Alaska, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
