Pick your IRS weight category and first used month for an instant Heavy Vehicle Use Tax estimate.
The IRS sorts taxable trucks into weight categories A to V by taxable gross weight. Category A is exactly 55,000 lbs, each step up adds 1,000 lbs, and Category V covers anything over 75,000 lbs. The category sets the annual tax, from $100 (A) to $550 (V). Logging vehicles pay 75% of those amounts.
HVUT applies to vehicles 55,000 lbs and over, Categories A to V.
The tax period runs July through June. Later first use means a lower prorated tax.
