The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) is an annual charge imposed on heavy vehicles with recorded gross weights of 55,000 pounds or more that travel on public highways. The weight of the truck, trailer, and load are added together to calculate the total taxable weight of a vehicle.

Heavy Vehicle Use Taxes must be filed on an annual basis using Form 2290. The Heavy Vehicles Tax Cycle starts in July and the filing deadline is August 31st for each cycle.
