New York State Permit (HUT)

Using New York’s public highways requires a tax to address the maintenance required to keep the roads safe. This is distinct from the fuel tax imposed by IFTA.

What is the New York Highway Use Tax (HUT)?

The New York Highway Use Tax (HUT) is a tax imposed on motor carriers operating heavy vehicles on New York State public highways. This tax is determined by the weight of your vehicle and for how many miles you travel in the state.

Carriers operating vehicles with a gross weight over 18,000 pounds need to file this tax quarterly.

Compliance is Mandatory

This tax is not optional. If you do not comply with the Highway Use Tax, you may face penalties such as fines, audits, and can potentially result in imprisonment.
