District of Columbia Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in the District of Columbia. D.C. hands you no per-mile bill. You still owe IFTA fuel tax reported quarterly, IRP apportioned registration split by miles, and at 55,000 lb or more the federal 2290 HVUT (IRS Form 2290, flat annual amount, $550 cap). Those three are the same nationwide. D.C. simply doesn't add a state-style weight-distance tax on top.
