Unified Carrier RegistrationUnderstanding the New York Highway Use Tax
The New York Highway Use Tax (HUT) is a mileage-based tax imposed on motor carriers operating heavy vehicles on New York’s public highways (outside of toll-paid Thruway sections). Established to support the maintenance and improvement of the state’s transportation network, the HUT ensures that those who use our roads the most contribute fairly to their upkeep.
Carriers must register with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, obtain a certificate of registration, and display HUT decals on their vehicles. Returns are filed periodically, with tax liability based on miles traveled and vehicle weight. Whether you’re a full-time operator or an occasional visitor to New York roads, understanding and complying with HUT requirements is essential. Our website offers step-by-step guidance to simplify the process, from registration to filing.
