Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Services Overview

Drivers with vehicles that have a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more are required to electronically file a Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) Form 2290. Once filed you need to get a stamped copy of your Schedule 1. You must file all taxable highway motor vehicles and CMVs that are required to be registered in your name; under US State, District of Columbia, Canadian, or Mexican law, during the tax period when the truck is first in operation.

What Is The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT)?

The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) is an annual fee on heavy vehicles operating on public highways at registered gross weights equal to or exceeding 55,000 pounds.

The need for road surface maintenance (potholes, divots, and more) can be attributed to heavy vehicles. The HVUT levels the playing field by ensuring that operators of heavy trucks pay a little more for the highway network relative to motorists and light trucks, which do less damage to the transportation system.
