Massachusetts Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in Massachusetts. Nothing extra to register, no per-mile return to file here. You still owe IFTA fuel tax, run an IRP apportioned plate, and at 55,000 lb and up file the federal 2290 HVUT, the same as every state.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Massachusetts, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate).
