HUT Guide
What is New York Highway Use Tax?
New York Highway Use Tax (HUT) is a mileage-based tax that applies to trucks and truck combinations with a taxable gross weight over 18,000 lbs operating on New York public highways. Carriers subject to HUT must register with New York State, obtain a HUT certificate, and file quarterly reports showing the number of miles traveled in NY.
State HUT credentials are issued in "series." Series 25 replaced Series 24 and certificates issued under Series 25 are valid until December 31, 2027. Carriers must renew into the current series before older credentials expire to avoid operating with an invalid permit.

Weight Requirements
What Trucks Need an NY HUT Sticker?
To be subject to New York Highway Use Tax, the vehicle must be used on NY public highways in connection with a business and have a gross weight of more than 18,000 pounds alone or in combination with any trailer.
Excluded Vehicles
Certain vehicles like road-building machines, snow plows, and well drillers are excluded when used only for their intended non-transport purposes.
Exempt Vehicles
Farm vehicles, government vehicles, USPS mail carriers, and RVs used solely for personal pleasure may be exempt when used exclusively for qualifying activities.
HUT vs. IRP/IFTA
HUT is separate from IRP plate registration and IFTA fuel reporting — carriers often manage all three programs when operating interstate.
