The Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations 2003

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 (“the Principal Regulations”).

Regulation 3 amends provisions of the Principal Regulations about changes in the keeper of a vehicle. Regulation 4 amends regulation 27 of the Principal Regulations so that the exemption from the payment of a fee for the disclosure of information is extended to all Customs and Excise officers. Regulations 5 and 6 make small drafting amendments to regulations 33 and 47.

Regulation 7 amends Schedule 5 to the Principal Regulations, which exempts vehicles imported by members of specified foreign armed forces and international headquarters and organisations from vehicle excise duty, by substituting new lists of countries and other bodies concerned.
