New York Highway Use Tax Violations

by Seth Azria on 8/13/2016

Carriers operating a commercial vehicle on New York public highways are subject to a New York Highway Use Tax Law.

This law requires that vehicles have a Highway Use Tax (HUT) decal indicating compliance with the law. Failing to have this decal creates a presumption that the vehicle is not in compliance with the law.

Violations of Section 1815 are punishable as follows:

  • First conviction: Fine between $100 and $250
  • Second and subsequent convictions: Fine between $250 and $500, or jail for up to 10 days

A driver may also be deemed to violate Section 1815 if the driver:

Operates a vehicle with a decal that been suspended or revoked or if the decal was issued for vehicle other than the one which it is affixed.

  • Operated a vehicle with a an actual gross weight or unloaded weight above that listed for the on the HUT certificate.
  • Fails to deliver to surrender the certificate of registration or decal.
  • Fails to keep required records of operation.

I am a truck driver and I was involved in an accident and was charged with a speeding ticket, which carries a penalty of 3 points. I called the AZRIA & BRUFFETT LAW FIRM, left him a message, and 15 minutes later, Mr. AZRIA responded. He provided me the knowledge and took my case. My ticket was reduced to 0 points and a small fee. l highly recommend this law firm, especially if you are a CDL driver. Thanks Mr. AZRIA and Ms. Shannon. You are the best.

I received a speeding violation back in December 2020 and is now dismissed. Seth Azria and firm has done an excellent job in getting the ticket dismissed successfully. The entire staff has been very professional, quick and responsive. I really appreciate their service and give them a 5 star. I would be happy to refer them to my friends.

Thanks
