• Tax Period Length : The tax year for these HVUT, runs from July to June. If the vehicle is in service in July, it is taxed using the normal rate. If the vehicle begins service any time after July, then it is taxed by the partial year rates.
• Gross Vehicle Weight : This is the total weight of the fully equipped vehicle ready for service, the empty trailer weight and the weight of the maximum load capacity for the vehicle in question.
• Vehicle Category : The taxable vehicles are either commercial or agricultural vehicles. Exempt vehicles include government trucks, blood transport vehicles, etc.
