HGV Road User Levy Act 2013 Schedule 1 paragraph 2

Levy rates for HGV vehicles

Schedule 1 paragraph 2 sets out the amounts of the HGV road user levy payable for different categories of heavy goods vehicles, based on vehicle weight and the duration of UK road use.

• The levy applies to heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) using UK roads and is charged at rates that vary according to the vehicle's weight band and whether it is rigid or articulated.
• Levy amounts are set for different time periods — a day, a week, a month, six months, or a year — allowing both UK-registered and foreign vehicles to pay for the appropriate duration of road use.
• Heavier vehicles pay higher levy rates, reflecting the greater wear and damage they cause to road infrastructure.
• The Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 amended the schedule, updating the levy structure and rates as part of broader reforms to the HGV road user levy regime.
