8. The proposed provisions increase the road user charge and at the same time differentiate according to the CO2 emission class. They also mean that the way changes in the CO2 emission class affect the road user charge is regulated.

The proposed provisions on the extended road user charge obligation means that the current 12 tonnes road user charge limit is reduced. This means that motor vehicles with a maximum weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes and motor vehicle combinations with such vehicles become subject to a charge. Motor vehicle combinations where the motor vehicle has a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes and a semi-trailer, if the total weight of the combination exceeds 3.5 tonnes, become chargeable.

The proposed provisions on vehicle tax involve introducing vehicle tax rates for heavy goods vehicles weighing less than 12 tonnes, that can be run on diesel oil and become subject to a charge due to the extension of the obligation to pay the road user charge. The vehicle tax is set at SEK 300 for all lorries concerned except those with a semi-trailer. For these trucks, the vehicle tax is instead set at SEK 1,000.

The provisions are proposed to enter into force on the days determined by the Government. This is estimated to be 26 March 2027 for the extension of the obligation to pay the road user charge and no earlier than 1 January 2025 for the other amendments.

9. Sweden has been affiliated with an intergovernmental cooperation since 1 January 1998 in the form of a common levying of road user charges for heavy goods vehicles when using certain roads. Within the framework of the cooperation, the Parties have agreed to amend the road user charge in order to adapt it to amendments to Directive 1999/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 1999 on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures. The amendments proposed in the Act on Road User Charge for Certain Heavy Vehicles aim at implementing the amendments agreed in cooperation.

The amendments proposed in the Road Traffic Tax Act aim at supplementing the current regulatory framework for vehicle tax with taxes on those lorries that can be run on diesel oil and which become subject to a road user charge through the amendments to the Act on Road User Charge. There are currently no vehicle tax rates for these vehicles.
