II. Highway Use Tax (Truck Mileage Tax) - Article 21
New York State imposes a Highway Use Tax on motor carriers operating certain motor vehicles on New York State public highways. The Highway Use Tax is not imposed on travel on the portions of the New York State Thruway for which a toll is charged (see TSB-M-95(6)M, Thruway Defined for Highway Use Tax Purposes). The Highway Use Tax is a weight-distance tax, computed based on mileage traveled by motor vehicles on New York State public highways at a rate determined by the weight of the motor vehicle. Before operating a motor vehicle as described below on New York State's public highways, a carrier must get a permit and sticker for each vehicle. To do this, the carrier must file an application for a Highway Use Tax (HUT) permit with the New York State Tax Department and pay the appropriate permit fee.
