Heavy Vehicle Use Tax

HVUT, or Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, is a tax amount paid for heavy vehicle use on public highways to cover the damage done by heavy vehicles to public roads.

You’ll need to pay HVUT if your vehicle has a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more and is driven on public highways.

You can claim an exemption or suspension for 2290 heavy highway tax if your vehicle:

–  Was used 5,000 highway miles or less during the tax period
–  Is an agricultural vehicle and was used 7,500 miles or less during the tax period
–  Was stolen or destroyed during the tax period

–  Was sold during the tax period 

HVUT Form 2290

HVUT Form 2290 must be filed with your heavy use tax payment by September 3, 2019.

Usually, the deadline is August 31st, but this year that date falls on a Saturday.

This deadline applies if the vehicle was first used during July. It also applies whether you are paying the HVUT tax or reporting the suspension of heavy use tax.

It’s important to file HVUT Form 2290 and pay your Heavy Highway Use Tax by the deadline to avoid IRS penalties and interest.
