NY HUT Permit
NY HUT stands for New York Highway Use Tax, a state tax that applies to certain motor carriers operating on New York public highways. If your truck weighs 18,000 pounds or more, or if it meets certain usage criteria, you may be required to have a valid New York HUT permit before operating in the state.
Who Needs a NY HUT Permit?
You need a New York HUT permit if:
- Your vehicle has a gross weight of 18,000 pounds or more.
- You operate a truck, tractor, or similar vehicle on New York's public highways.
- You are based inside or outside New York but enter the state for business.
- Your fleet makes regular or occasional trips through New York.
This includes for-hire carriers, private carriers, and owner-operators. Even if your company is not based in New York, you still need to register for NY HUT before operating in the state.

Carriers who operate vehicles subject to NY Highway Use Tax must file quarterly returns reporting the miles traveled on New York highways. This is known as NY HUT quarterly filing.
Quarterly Filing Requirements
- Returns must be filed by the last day of the month following each quarter
- Accurate mileage records required for all New York highway travel
- Late filing can result in penalties, interest charges, and compliance violations
- We handle all calculations, submissions, and ensure timely filing
