Vehicles treated as having reduced plated weights
8
1

2
Where, following an application duly made in accordance with the regulations, a licence is issued for the vehicle concerned at the rate of duty applicable to the operating weight, that weight shall be shown on the licence.
3

4
In any case where a vehicle in respect of which a lower rate of duty has been charged by virtue of this paragraph is used in contravention of a condition imposed by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) above, then—
a
the higher rate of duty applicable to its plated gross weight or plated train weight shall become chargeable as from the date of the contravention ; and
b
section 19 of this Act shall apply as if—
i
that higher rate had become chargeable under subsection (1) of that section by reason of the vehicle being used as mentioned in that subsection ; and
ii
subsections (5) to (9) were omitted.

b
is not a vehicle for which an annual rate of duty is specified in Schedule 3 to this Act; and
