New York IFTA Tax Rate — 2026
Last refreshed from iftach.org on May 14, 2026.
How New York IFTA tax is calculated
For every gallon of diesel your truck "burned" inside New York during the quarter, you owe $0.3805 in IFTA tax. The number of taxable gallons isn't the gallons you bought there — it's the miles you drove inside New York divided by your fleet's average miles-per-gallon for the whole quarter.
Your IFTA return then nets that against the New York fuel-tax you already paid at the pump on gallons purchased inside the state. If you ran more New York miles than you bought New York fuel, you owe the difference. If you bought more New York fuel than you ran New York miles, you get a refund or credit.
New York-specific notes
New York's IFTA rate is mid-pack, but New York separately collects a Highway Use Tax (HUT) based on weight and miles — that's filed outside IFTA on form MT-903.

Common New York IFTA filing questions
- Do I file IFTA in New York if my home base is here? If your IFTA base jurisdiction is New York, you file your quarterly return with the New York Department of Revenue (or equivalent). Your filing covers every IFTA jurisdiction you ran in, not just New York.
- What if I only drove a few miles through New York? Every IFTA mile counts, even if you only crossed the state. Track them on your trip sheet or ELD report — you'll owe (or get refunded) New York's share whether you bought fuel here or not.
- What if New York fuel is cheaper than the IFTA tax? The IFTA rate above is what you owe per gallon "consumed" in New York. The pump price already includes New York's state fuel tax — that's what gets credited on your return. If you bought all your fuel in a low-tax state and drove all your miles in New York, you'll owe the full New York rate on those gallons at filing time.
