BILL NUMBER:S2310 REVISED 4/24/14
TITLE OF BILL: An act to repeal article 21 of the tax law relating to
the highway use tax
PURPOSE: This bill repeals the highway use tax.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Repeals article 21 of the tax law relating to
imposition of a highway use tax for the privilege of operating any
vehicular unit upon the public highways of the state.
JUSTIFICATION: The highway use tax, also known as the ton-mile tax,
reduces the ability of New York trucking companies to compete with
out-of-state companies because it places a higher cost burden on the
New York-based trucking industry as compared with truckers from other
states that travel through New York. Other states have eliminated the
highway use tax and have instead opted for simpler tax collection
methods, such as registration fees and fuel taxes, over the ton-mile
tax. Calculating the ton-mile tax payment requires substantial
paperwork and is easily evaded by out-of-state companies. This tax
causes New York to lose its competitive edge in attracting trucking
businesses. The tax also increases the cost of shipping and the cost
of doing business in New York State. The elimination of the tax would
benefit truckers, manufacturers, shippers and consumers.
