However, heavy vehicle operators (like trucking companies and bus fleets) must pay this road user charge, which reduces the amount they can claim back. It effectively works as a **usage fee for public roads**, collected through the fuel tax system rather than via toll booths.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Trucking and transport companies operating heavy vehicles on public roads\n- Bus operators\n- Any business using heavy machinery that consumes taxable fuel on public roads\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis rate (just under 20 cents per litre) directly impacts operating costs for the transport industry and generates revenue for road maintenance and infrastructure."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-2006-no-1","history":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-2006-no-1/history","analysis":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-2006-no-1/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-2006-no-1/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-2006-no-1/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-2006-no-1/documents"}}
