Description

Provide a secure payment interface, allow payments to be made prior to the journey being undertaken in the UK, enable carriers to pay through a variety of payment methods, claim refunds and manage accounts. Payment data must interface with the enforcement authorities to enable:
•Checks to be made at the roadside by an enforcement officer to establish that the levy has been paid, and that the correct amount of levy has been paid for the foreign HGV being operated.
•Proactive enforcement of levy payment by foreign HGV to the undertaken via automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras for vehicles entering and leaving the UK.
•Possibly, targeting of foreign HGVs that serially fail to pay, or underpay the HGV levy.

Facilitate compliance to ensure that foreign HGV compliance with levy is maximised from date of the levy introduction:
•The levy fulfils its objective of creating a fairer competitive environment between foreign and domestic hauliers by foreign operators contributing to some road maintenance costs through payment of the charge whilst in the UK.
•The tax revenue generated by the foreign HGVs paying the levy is maximised within budgetary constraints
•The enforcement resource required to deter non-compliance can be kept to an appropriate level primarily focused on those foreign HGVs that have deliberately chosen to avoid paying the levy.
