The implementation of congestion pricing in New York City on January 5, 2025, has sparked major concerns within the trucking industry. The Trucking Association of New York (TANY) continues to voice opposition, arguing that the new pricing model places an unfair burden on truckers and businesses that depend on freight transportation.
To obtain a temporary Highway Use Tax (HUT) authorization in New York, carriers must first create or access an OSCAR (One Stop Credentialing and Registration) account with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Our team can handle the entire process for you, whether you need a temporary NY HUT permit for interstate travel or a permanent HUT sticker for vehicles registered in New York.
Setting up an OSCAR account is the first step in the registration process. The system allows carriers to securely submit their information, register vehicles, and access important Highway Use Tax documents. Once approved, the HUT certificate and sticker are mailed directly by the state to the business address associated with the HUT account.
If a vehicle exceeds the 18,000-pound gross weight threshold and travels on New York highways, the carrier must register for HUT before operating in the state. But not all commercial vehicles operating in New York are required to register under the New York Highway Use Tax (HUT). The requirement is primarily determined by the truck’s weight.
