Since 1 April 2014 the HGV levy has raised more than £44 million from foreign HGVs. Foreign truck operators from 90 countries have purchased more than 1.8 million levies, a time-based charge that ensures all HGVs over 12 tonnes contribute towards their use of UK roads.
Foreign truck drivers have handed over more than £17 million to the taxpayer in the past 4 months thanks to a new charge. More than 618,000 levies have been purchased for over 112,000 vehicles from 76 different countries since the HGV road user levy was introduced in April 2014 – which has seen drivers coughing up enough cash to patch more than 320,000 potholes on our roads.
