1 These Regulations replace the provisions in regulation 35 of the Goods Vehicles (Operators' Licences, Qualifications and Fees) Regulations 1984 (SI 1984/176) as amended which have been revoked by the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2869), and impose a new fee structure.

2 Regulation 3 and the Schedule set out what fees shall be payable and when those fees shall become due. Regulation 3(8) enables charges to be made by the traffic commissioner in accordance with an administrative arrangement made with the licence-holder.

These cover surrender, suspension, curtailment or revocation for disciplinary reasons, as well as the voluntary reduction by the licence-holder of the number of specified vehicles by 10 or more or by 20 per cent.

4 Regulation 5 provides for a licence holder to transfer vehicle fees paid from a vehicle which is removed from the licence to one which is added to it.
