Operating a qualifying heavy vehicle in Connecticut? Get the proper Highway Use Tax registration and keep your commercial operation compliant.
Connecticut imposes a Highway Use Tax on certain heavy commercial motor vehicles that travel on public roads within the state.
The tax is generally determined using two important factors: the taxable weight of the vehicle and the distance it travels in Connecticut.
Businesses operating qualifying vehicles should make sure the required registration is completed before beginning taxable operations.
Commercial carriers operating qualifying vehicles with a taxable weight of 26,000 pounds or more may fall under Connecticut's HUT requirements.
Connecticut's Highway Use Tax uses vehicle weight and miles traveled to determine the applicable tax.
Approximate tax per taxable mile.
The per-mile rate increases as taxable vehicle weight moves into higher brackets.
Higher-weight vehicles can fall into the highest published mileage rate category.
Make sure your commercial operation has the proper registration before traveling on Connecticut highways.
Vehicles meeting Connecticut's applicable weight requirements may be subject to HUT.
