66,000 lb Truck Tax in Connecticut
If you operate a heavy truck with a gross vehicle weight of 66,000 pounds in Connecticut, you are likely subject to the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) and must file Form 2290 with the IRS. This guide provides specific information about Form 2290 tax for a 66,000 lb truck operating in Connecticut.
The HVUT is an annual tax assessed on vehicles operating on public highways with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. The tax is paid to the IRS using Form 2290. Your principal place of business location (in this case, potentially Connecticut) has no bearing on the tax obligation; it is based on the vehicle's operation on public highways.
For a vehicle weighing 66,000 lbs, the tax is calculated using the IRS's HVUT rate schedule. The calculation begins at the base rate for vehicles 55,000 lbs or more, and then adds an incremental amount for each 1,000 lbs (or fraction thereof) over that weight.
