The HGV levy is suspended until 31 July 2023 because of coronavirus (COVID-19).

From 1 August 2023, drivers resp. hauliers need to pay the levy before entering the UK if the HGV:

  • is not registered in the UK
  • weighs more than 12,000kg

Accordingly, both British and international drivers or transporters must register and pay the levy before entering the United Kingdom, otherwise penalties and fines may be imposed.
