HGV road user Levy
Following consultation in 2022, the Government will introduce a new reformed HGV levy from August 2023 following the planned end of the current levy suspension period.
The reforms to the HGV levy are a further step towards reflecting the environmental performance of the vehicle. The government remains committed to ensuring that the levy applies to all HGVs using the UK road network.
Statutory Off Road Notice
Registered vehicles that are not being used or parked on public roads and which have been taxed since January 31, 1998, must be covered by a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) to avoid VED and insurance payments.
