Heavy vehicle charges for 2022-23 financial year

We invited industry and government feedback between on the proposed increase between 30 January and 1 April 2022. Consultation is now closed. 

Your feedback will be provided to infrastructure and transport ministers, including: 

• the Deputy Prime Minister 
• the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development.

We also expect our ongoing heavy vehicle charges determination work to be considered by ministers later this year. Further information on this process is available on the Heavy Vehicle Charges Determination page.
 

In 2020, the NTC started work on a Heavy Vehicle Charges Determination. The project is looking at ways the ‘pay as you go’ model (PAYGO) could be updated, and options for implementing those changes.

We provided several recommendations and the determination regulation impact statement to ministers for consideration in December 2021.

Ministers decided to engage industry on a 2.75% increase to heavy vehicle charges for 2022-23 only. They will revisit the determination later in 2022, with the possibility of looking at multi-year charge setting. 

Consultation for the potential increase in 2022-23 has concluded. Join our mailing list and select heavy vehicles as an interest to get updates on the Heavy Vehicle Charges Determination work which will recommence later this year.
