Who must submit the IAR sales report?

Who must submit the IAR sales report?

• A. ARC Accredited Agents
• B. Non-accredited agents
• C. All travel agents
• D. Only agency owners

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that IAR sales reporting is a responsibility tied to ARC accreditation. Only ARC Accredited Agents are part of ARC’s official reporting and settlement system, so they are the ones required to submit the IAR sales report. This reporting ensures ARC has accurate, verifiable sales data for settlement with airlines and for compliance checks. Non-accredited agents aren’t enrolled in ARC’s reporting framework, so they don’t file the IAR. Agency owners aren’t automatically responsible just by virtue of ownership; the obligation follows accreditation status—if the agency or the individual is ARC accredited, they must submit; if not, they do not.
