New Jersey Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in New Jersey. Nothing separate to register here, no per-mile return to file. You still run under IFTA for fuel tax, carry an IRP apportioned plate, and, at 55,000 lb and up, owe the federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax on IRS Form 2290, the same as every state.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including New Jersey, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
