The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax is paid by Form 2290 annually for heavy vehicles operating on public highways with registered gross weights equal to or exceeding 55,000 pounds.

How do you determine the gross taxable weight of a vehicle? It’s simple, just add the following:

• The actual unloaded tare weight of the vehicle fully equipped for service
• The actual unloaded weight of any trailers or semitrailers fully equipped for service customarily used in combination with the vehicle, and
• The weight of the maximum load customarily carried on the vehicle and on any trailers or semitrailers customarily used in combination with the vehicle
• For buses, the taxable gross weight is its actual unloaded weight fully equipped for service, plus 150 pounds for each seat provided for passengers and the driver

The tax year for Form 2290 starts in July 1st of each year and ends in June 30 of the following year. If the gross taxable weight is between 55,000 to 75,000 pounds, the HVUT is $100, plus $22 per 1,000 pounds over 55,000 pounds. For over 75,000-pound vehicles, the maximum HVUT is $550 per year. The taxes are lower for logging vehicles—vehicles primarily used for exclusive transport of products harvested from the forest and that are registered with a state agency as such.

The table below shows the taxes for logging and regular trucks:

There are several groups that receive exemptions from the HVUT. These include:

• The Federal Government
• State or local governments, including the District of Columbia
• The American Red Cross
• Nonprofit volunteer fire departments, ambulance associations, or rescue squads
• Indian tribal governments (for vehicles used in essential tribal government functions)
• Mass transportation authorities

These are the vehicles that are exempt from the HVUT:

• Vehicles not considered highway motor vehicles - e.g., mobile machinery for non-transportation functions, vehicles specifically designed for off-highway transportation, and non-transportation trailers and semi-trailers
• Qualified blood collector vehicles used by qualified blood collector organizations
• Mobile machinery that is used for non-transportation purposes

Exempt carriers may be required to file tax forms with the IRS or notify the local department of motor vehicles (DMV) of the exempt status being claimed

Other vehicles that are exempt based on the number of miles driven are:

• Commercial vehicles traveling fewer than 5,000 miles annually
• Agricultural vehicles traveling fewer than 7,500 miles annually

The above vehicles are called Suspended Vehicles, but still must be reported to the IRS.

Anyone who registers a heavy highway motor vehicle in their name with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more must file Form 2290 and pay the tax. Typically, owners of vans, pickup trucks, panel trucks, etc., are not required to file or pay tax on these smaller trucks. Trucks that are used for 5,000 miles or less (7,500 for farm trucks) are required to file a return but are excluded from paying the tax.

The Federal HTF protects the nation's investment in our transportation infrastructure. In 2007 alone, Federal HTF receipts topped $39.9 billion, with $34.9 billion dedicated to the HTF's Highway Account. The Federal HTF finances a broad spectrum of transportation investments, including:

• Highway improvements (e.g., land acquisition and other right-of-way costs, preliminary and construction engineering, construction and reconstruction, resurfacing and restoration costs of roadways and bridges)
• Highway and bridge maintenance activities
• Highway law enforcement
• Safety programs (e.g., driver education and training, vehicle inspection programs, enforcement of vehicle size and weight limits)
• Congestion relief projects
• Debt service
• Administrative costs (e.g., research, engineering)

Investment in our nation's highway infrastructure helps:

• Save lives, time and money
• Reduce the number and severity of crashes for all kinds of vehicles
• Enhance the ability of the entire community of emergency responders
• Lower fuel and insurance costs
• Increase mobility
• Ease congestion
• Decrease energy consumption
• Boost air quality
• Improve the efficient movement of goods
• Raise business productivity
• Strengthen the nation's economic productivity

Since the vast majority of all funds contributed by states to the Federal HTF are returned through highway fund apportionments, there is a direct incentive for state agencies to take necessary measures to enhance HVUT compliance.
