Renew your credentials, and pay your renewal fees, online, with One Stop Credentialing and Registration (OSCAR). Submit your renewal application by November 30, 2021, to make sure you receive your decals in time to place them on your vehicles before January 1, 2022.

• If you are already enrolled in OSCAR, use your current OSCAR password to renew online.
• If you are not enrolled, visit OSCAR, and select Enroll Now. You must have a United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) number and an employer identification number (EIN). It’s fast, easy, and secure.
• If you are unable to renew electronically, you may file Form TMT-1.2, Renewal Application for Highway Use Tax (HUT) and Automotive Fuel Carrier (AFC) Certificates of Registrations (C of R) and Decals – 24th Series. (This form will be available when the renewal period begins).

You must pay $1.50 for each truck, tractor, or other self-propelled device, and for each trailer, semitrailer, dolly, or other device that transports automotive fuel. This fee is for the C of R and decal.

Interestingly the administrative costs for the state amount to about $16 per truck, making HUT a costly and inefficient tax for the state. New York should look repeal HUT and seek fairer and more efficient means of revenue.
