Road user charges (RUC)
We pay towards our roads through levies in the price of some fuels or through
road user charges.
Road user charges are paid for:
- vehicles with a manufacturer's gross laden weight over 3.5 tonnes
- vehicles with a manufacturer's gross laden weight up to 3.5 tonnes that are powered by a fuel which is not taxed at source (such as diesel).
