What changed

The UK Secretary of State, exercising powers under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, has revoked the Heavy Goods Vehicles (Charging for the Use of Certain Infrastructure on the Trans-European Road Network) Regulations 2009 and the 2014 amendment regulations. Additionally, consequential amendments have been made, including the omission of subsection (4) from section 72 of the Finance Act 2025, and the revocation of other related regulations. These changes effectively remove the previous charging framework for HGVs on certain Trans-European Road Network infrastructure.

These regulations are now in force as of April 2, 2026, and apply to England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. While the document revokes previous regulations and makes consequential amendments, it does not introduce new charging mechanisms or compliance obligations for transportation companies. The primary impact is the removal of outdated legislation. No specific compliance deadlines or penalties are detailed in this instrument, as it focuses on revocation and amendment rather than establishing new requirements.

What to do next

Review internal policies and documentation related to HGV charging on the Trans-European Road Network to ensure alignment with the revoked regulations.
Confirm that no ongoing compliance activities are predicated on the now-revoked 2009 and 2014 regulations.
