What special fee is applicable to commercial vehicles at renewal?

The special fee applicable to commercial vehicles at renewal is based on their declared operating weight. This means that commercial vehicles are subject to weight fees, which are determined by how much the vehicle weighs when it is loaded. The categorization of vehicles by weight is important because it impacts road usage and infrastructure, as heavier vehicles typically cause more wear and tear on roads and bridges.

These weight fees are specifically designed to ensure that commercial vehicle operators contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the road systems they utilize, reflecting the greater impact that heavier vehicles have compared to standard passenger vehicles. For this reason, when a commercial vehicle owner renews their registration, they need to declare the operating weight of their vehicle to determine the appropriate weight fee applicable to their renewal process.
