Now is the time to repeal New York's Highway Use Tax (HUT), which is exclusive to commercial vehicles operating in the state.
- New York is only one of 5 states that continue to impose a HUT;
- Compliance with HUT is burdensome & costly to both motor carriers and the state;
- Out-of-state carriers can easily evade the tax, costing the state over $120 million in revenue;
- Audits target New York state motor carriers, creating a competitive disadvantage against out-of-state carriers;
- The industry needs relief - increasing tolls, inflation, supply chain challenges, labor costs and more continue to strain companies.
Trucking is essential to New York's economy and is in need of financial relief.
