What is the weight of my vehicle?
If your HGV’s weight exceeds more than 12 tonnes, you will be obliged to register and pay the HGV levy. The amount will vary depending on your vehicle’s emission standards. The HGV levy fee will take into consideration the vehicle’s weight, axle configuration and levy duration.
