EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”).
The Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (“the 1994 Act”) provides for reduced rates of vehicle excise duty to be applicable to certain buses, haulage vehicles and heavy goods vehicles (“eligible vehicles”) which meet the reduced pollution requirements. Regulation 5 of, and Schedule 2 to, the 2002 Regulations prescribe the reduced pollution requirements for the purposes of the 1994 Act and provide for the issue of reduced pollution certificates where the requirements are found to be satisfied.
The fees for such examinations are prescribed in paragraph 13 of Schedule 2 to the 2002 Regulations. Where an examination of a vehicle is carried out under paragraph 8 of Schedule 2 to the 2002 Regulations (re-examination of a vehicle for which a reduced pollution certificate is in force) no fee is payable.
Regulation 2 increases the fees prescribed in paragraph 13 of Schedule 2 in relation to the examination of eligible vehicles. These fees are set out in the Table below with the percentage increase since the fees were last fixed shown in brackets.
