Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Vehicle Excise (Design Weight Certificate) Regulations 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”). Those Regulations make provision for the issue of design weight certificates and related matters for the purposes of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 and prescribe the fees payable in connection with applications and appeals.
Regulation 2 increases the fees prescribed by the 1995 Regulations for the application for a design weight certificate and an appeal against determination. The increased fees are set out in the Table (with the percentage increase since the fees were last fixed shown in brackets).
