Stay compliant with New York Highway Use Tax in just a few easy steps.

What is NY HUT?

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.

The NY Highway Use Tax is not a fuel tax — it's a road tax designed to maintain New York's highway system. Every qualified vehicle must display a valid NY HUT decal and comply with filing requirements.

With a valid NY HUT permit, carriers can legally travel through the state of New York without risking penalties or delays.

Who Needs It?

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.
