What is Tire Excise Tax?

The Tire Excise Tax is imposed under IRS Code Section 4071, applicable to tires used on highway vehicles and imposed on tire manufacturers, producers, or importers. The rate for standard taxable tires is $0.0945 per 10 pounds of maximum rated load capacity above 3,500 lbs; for bias-ply or super-single (non-steering) tires it’s $0.04725 per 10 pounds.

Who pays the Tire Excise Tax?

The Tire Excise Tax is paid by tire manufacturers, producers, or importers and not by end consumers. It's due at the point when taxable tires are delivered to manufacturer-owned retail outlets, treated as a sale for tax purposes.

Importers of vehicles or articles equipped with taxable tires are also treated as the manufacturers of those tires and bear the tax liability upon import.
