HGV Road User Levy Act 2013 section 6

Payment of levy for non-UK heavy goods vehicles

Section 6 explains how the HGV road user levy is charged to non-UK registered heavy goods vehicles using UK roads, including the available payment periods and how rates are determined.

• The levy applies to non-UK heavy goods vehicles for each day they are used on a UK public road.
• The levy can be paid for a period of up to one year, or any shorter period chosen by the person paying.
• Rates are set at yearly, half-yearly, monthly, weekly or daily levels, with the chosen period broken down into the largest available time units first.
• The applicable rate depends on which band the vehicle falls into, as determined by Tables 1, 1A and 1B in Schedule 1 to the Act.
