Who Needs This Permit

Carriers operating generally motor vehicles with a gross weight over 18,000 lbs (and certain combinations) using New York public highways typically must obtain New York Highway Use Tax (HUT) credentials and file periodic tax returns. Vehicles under the statutory weight thresholds, and certain exempt categories, may not need a permit—verify your GVW against current NY rules before each operation.

How to Get It

Provide carrier FEIN, USDOT, vehicle schedule (VIN, plate, registered/gross weight), and contact details. TruckPermits.online prepares the New York Highway Use Tax (HUT) application package, coordinates certificate/decal issuance, and explains return filing cadence.

Requirements

  • FEIN / business entity information
  • USDOT number
  • Vehicle list with VIN, plate, and gross / unloaded weight
  • Mailing address for certificates and tax notices
  • Prior HUT/HUF account number if renewing

Permit Details

New York assesses highway use taxes separately from IRP and IFTA. Holding IRP plates or IFTA decals does not replace NY Highway Use Tax (HUT) requirements when your vehicles meet the weight thresholds.

Weight matters: New York HUT commonly applies above 18,000 lbs gross weight for many truck configurations. Operating without a valid certificate can trigger penalties and interest.

TruckPermits.online’s service focuses on getting you credentialed quickly; tax payments based on miles or weight-distance formulas remain the carrier’s responsibility on the state’s filing schedule.
