Brussels to launch proceedings against UK HGV Levy

According to Der Spiegel and the British press, the European Commission is secretly deliberating on a plan to challenge the UK’s road toll levy in the European Court. This is surprising because when the UK introduced the ‘HGV road user levy’ on 1 April 2014, the European Commission did not act, despite the fact that the levy was a blank cheque for 90% of UK trucks via reduced road tax.
