NEW YORK HUT (Highway Tax)

Welcome to the New York Hut (Highway Use Tax) program, a system that helps fund the construction, maintenance, and repair of highways, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure throughout New York State. The program applies to all vehicles that weigh more than 18,000 pounds and operate on public highways in the state.

The Highway Use Tax is a weight-distance tax, meaning that it is based on the weight of the vehicle and the distance it travels on New York State highways. The tax rate varies based on the weight of the vehicle and the number of miles traveled. The tax is paid quarterly by the registrant of the vehicle.

If you operate a vehicle that meets the weight threshold and travels on New York State highways, you are required to register for the Highway Use Tax. Failure to register and pay the tax can result in penalties, fines, and even the impoundment of the vehicle.

To register for the Highway Use Tax, you can complete the application online or by mail. You will need to provide information about your business, the vehicles you operate, and the expected mileage for each vehicle. Once registered, you will receive a certificate of registration and a set of decals that must be displayed on each vehicle.

The Highway Use Tax is an important source of revenue for New York State, providing funding for critical infrastructure projects that benefit all residents and businesses in the state. By registering and paying the tax, you are contributing to the maintenance and improvement of New York's transportation system.
