HGV levy nets £17m in first four months of operation

摘要

The HGV road user levy has netted more than £17 million from foreign truck drivers in the first four months of operation - way ahead of the government's target of £20 million for year one. Introduced in April this year, the levy charges hauliers driving trucks of 12 tonnes or more for using UK roads - UK hauliers pay via the vehicle excise duty.
