HGV Road User Levy Act 2013
Summary
This Act introduced a tax (called a levy) on Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs or lorries) that use UK roads. The money collected is meant to be used for maintaining and improving roads that are damaged by these large vehicles.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means backing a tax on heavy lorries using UK roads. Supporters believe the money raised helps fix and maintain roads, and it's fair to make heavy vehicles pay for the wear and tear they cause on our road network.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry the levy increases costs for haulage companies and businesses that rely on lorries, which could lead to higher prices for goods. Some argue it unfairly targets UK companies while foreign lorries passing through might pay less.
