Truck mileage tax (TMT)TB-HU-360: How to Determine Your Highway Use TaxVerified Jul 25, 2026
Methods: Gross weight method: Applies to
Every truck, tractor, or other self-propelled vehicle with a gross weight of more than 18,000 pounds.TB-HU-360: How to Determine Your Highway Use TaxVerified Jul 25, 2026
Methods: Gross weight method: Basis
The unloaded weight of the truck or tractor, plus the unloaded weight of the heaviest trailer to be drawn, plus the maximum load to be carried or drawn.

Methods: Unloaded weight method: Applies to
Trucks with an unloaded weight of more than 8,000 pounds and tractors with an unloaded weight of more than 4,000 pounds.TB-HU-360: How to Determine Your Highway Use TaxVerified Jul 25, 2026

Methods: Election rule
When completing the first return for the calendar year, the carrier must choose either the gross weight method or the unloaded weight method. Once selected, the same method must be used for every return filed during the year and for all of the carrier’s vehicles, and cannot be changed until the following year.TB-HU-360: How to Determine Your Highway Use TaxVerified Jul 25, 2026
Rate schedules: Regular rate
Rate Schedule 1 is the regular tax-rate schedule used by most carriers under both methods.TB-HU-360: How to Determine Your Highway Use TaxVerified Jul 25, 2026
Rate schedules: Reduced rate
Rate Schedule 2 (reduced rates) may be used only if the carrier has three or fewer trucks or tractors operated in New York that are used almost exclusively to transport bolt wood, logs, pulpwood, wood chips, or raw, unprocessed milk in bulk.TB-HU-360: How to Determine Your Highway Use TaxVerified Jul 25, 2026

Carriers running vehicles over the state's weight threshold on New York public highways owe the tax on the miles those vehicles run there. The tables on this page carry the thresholds and the current rates, each with the official source.
Is this the same as IFTA?
No. IFTA settles fuel tax across jurisdictions; a weight-distance tax charges for road use by weight and miles, on top of fuel tax. Only a handful of states levy one, and New York is one of them.
Do I need a separate account or permit for it?
Yes, the tax has its own registration and credential, separate from your plates and IFTA license. The registration section on this page covers how New York issues it, with the official source linked.
Where do the rates on this page come from?
Straight from the state's published rate schedule, stored once in our rate store and rendered from there, so a rate change updates this page and the calculator together. Each rate cell links the official source.
Haul Handbook publishes educational information about trucking registration and compliance requirements. This is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Rules, fees, and deadlines change; confirm with the agency before you file or pay.
