Heavy vehicle charges determination

We are reviewing the methodology (known as Pay-As-You-Go or PAYGO) for setting heavy vehicle charges to ensure it remains fit for purpose.

The purpose of this work is to develop recommendations for setting heavy vehicle charges from 2022–23 onwards that are based on an open and transparent methodology and assumptions, and the best available data.

Background

Heavy vehicle charges have remained static since 2017–18, while government expenditure on roads has continued to increase.

The Council has directed the NTC to undertake a heavy vehicle charges determination, presenting final recommendations to the Council in November 2021.
