    Hi Ray, yes it has been mentioned on another thread as this was a policy agreed, after consultation, by Government in the middle of last year. The charge will actually be on every HGV, UK and foreign, so that the UK cannot be had up for a tax that acts as an inhibitor to trade (Road Tolling in the UK is not common place as it is on the Continent and the imposition of a new tax on HGV's for road use that specifically targeted foreign users would inevitably end in an EU comission ruling against it).

    The Government makes this toll cost neutral for UK HGV owners by reducing the direct road tax that they pay.

    The entire scheme is expected to raise £23.5m net per annum for the Treasury.
