Taxes IFTA does not cover in New York
- Highway Use Tax (HUT): certificate of registration and decal required for trucks/tractors over 18,000 lbs gross weight (unloaded-weight method thresholds differ); rate based on vehicle weight and reporting method; returns due even if no tax is due; toll-paid NYS Thruway excluded.
Good to know
- Tax Dept. says OSCAR updates for HUT and IFTA credentials are coming in 2027.
IFTA basics for New York carriers
- You need an IFTA license if your state is your base jurisdiction and you operate a qualified motor vehicle in two or more member jurisdictions: 2 axles over 26,000 lbs, 3 or more axles, or a combination over 26,000 lbs.
- The license is renewed every year and each qualified vehicle carries two decals.
- Late returns: $50 or 10% of delinquent taxes, whichever is greater, plus interest.
- Keep trip records and fuel receipts for 4 years.
- Tax rates change quarterly and are published in the IFTA, Inc. tax rate matrix.
File for every New York carrier from one board.
