Wednesday 27th October 2021

Asked by: Robert Goodwill (Conservative - Scarborough and Whitby)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much the HGV Road User Levy has raised from foreign HGVs since its introduction.

Answered by Trudy Harrison

Since 2014, all Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) weighing more than 12 tonnes pay a levy to use United Kingdom roads. While this levy has been suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic, which is responsible for a drop in income since August 2020, £306 million has been raised by foreign registered vehicles. A breakdown of foreign registered vehicle revenue per year is set out below:
