What is NY HUT Quarterly Filing?

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.

The New York Highway Use Tax applies to motor carriers with qualified vehicles operating within the state. Even if you didn't travel in New York during a quarter, you must still file a zero return to stay compliant.

Who Needs to File?

You must file a NY HUT quarterly tax return if:

  • Your vehicle has a gross weight of 18,000 pounds or more.
  • You operate in or through the state of New York.
  • You have an active New York HUT permit.
  • You are responsible for reporting and paying NY Highway Use Tax.

This includes owner-operators, trucking companies, and private fleets. Failing to file on time can result in penalties and interest.
