(2)Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, if a goods vehicle of a description specified in the first column of Table B in Part II of this Schedule is used for drawing a trailer, the annual rate of duty applicable thereto in accordance with the foregoing sub-paragraph shall be increased by the amount specified in the fourth column of that Table in relation to vehicles of that description or, where the unladen weight of the vehicle is set out in the second and third columns of that Table, by the amount so specified in relation to vehicles of that description and weight.
2Where a goods vehicle is partly used for private purposes, that is to say, otherwise than for the conveyance of goods or burden for hire or reward or for or in connection with a trade or business (including the performance by a local or public authority of its functions), duty shall (if apart from this paragraph it would be less) be chargeable by virtue of this Schedule at a rate equal to that which would be chargeable in respect of that goods vehicle if Schedule 5 to this Act were applicable to it instead of this Schedule.
3Duty shall not be chargeable by virtue of this Schedule—
(a)in respect of a vehicle chargeable with duty by virtue of Schedule 1 to this Act;

(c)in respect of a mobile crane or works truck ; or
(d)in respect of a vehicle which, though constructed or adapted for use for the conveyance of goods or burden, is not used for the conveyance thereof for hire or reward or for or in connection with a trade or business (including the performance by a local or public authority of its functions).
4Without prejudice to paragraph 2 above a vehicle shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as a farmer's goods vehicle notwithstanding that it is partly used for private purposes as denned in the said paragraph 2 if, apart from that use, it would be a farmer's goods vehicle as defined in this Schedule.
5(1)A mechanically propelled vehicle constructed or adapted for use and used for the conveyance of a machine or contrivance and no other load except articles used in connection with the machine or contrivance, not being a vehicle for which an annual rate of duty is specified in Schedule 3 to this Act, shall, notwithstanding that the machine or contrivance is built in as part thereof, be chargeable with duty at the rate which would be applicable if the machine or contrivance were burden and were not included in the unladen weight of the vehicle.
(2)A mobile concrete mixer which, but for its conveyance of the materials used by it in mixing concrete, would fall within the foregoing sub-paragraph, shall be chargeable with duty in accordance with that sub-paragraph and shall be so chargeable at the rate which would be applicable thereunder if so much of the weight of its built-in machine or contrivance as exceeds 30 hundredweight were burden and were not included in the unladen weight of the vehicle.
6(1)Where a goods vehicle used for drawing a trailer has the trailer attached to it by partial superimposition, the vehicle and trailer shall, for the purpose of determining the annual rate of duty applicable to the vehicle, be treated as if they together formed a single vehicle, and the increase of duty provided for by paragraph 1(2) above shall not be chargeable.
(2)The increase of duty provided for by the said paragraph 1(2) shall not be chargeable by reason of the use of a goods vehicle for drawing any vehicle which, if mechanically propelled, would be exempt from duty by virtue of section 4(1)(f) or (k) of this Act.
7(1)This paragraph and paragraph 8 below apply to agricultural machines which do not draw trailers.

(3)The goods or burden referred to in the foregoing sub-paragraph are any goods or burden the haulage of which is permissible under paragraph 2(1)(a) to (e) of Schedule 3 to this Act.
(4)The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the use of a vehicle on a public road more than 15 miles from a farm in the occupation of the person in whose name the vehicle is registered under this Act.
(5)The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to three-wheeled vehicles, or to any vehicle such that the distance between the centre of the area of contact with the road surface of—

(b)any wheel on one side of the vehicle, in any other case,
and that of the nearest wheel on the other side is less than 4 feet.
(6)For the purposes of this paragraph a vehicle having two wheels at the front shall, if the distance between them (measured between the centres of their respective areas of contact with the road) is less than 18 inches, be treated as a three-wheeled vehicle.
8(1)The following provisions of this paragraph shall have effect in relation to any vehicle fitted with an appliance of any description prescribed for the purposes of all or any of sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) of this paragraph by regulations under this paragraph.
