Give notification of the use of a towing device
If you do not use the lorry’s towing device to tow a trailer, notify Traficom. Submit a new notification before you start using the towing device again.
If a lorry has been equipped to tow a trailer, a separate tax share related to the towing device must be paid in addition to the tax on driving power.
If the towing device is not used, the taxpayer must give a notification. In that case, the taxpayer will not be charged the share related to the towing device. If at a later point in time the towing device is recommissioned, the taxpayer must file a notification before using the lorry to tow a trailer. In that case, the taxpayer will be charged the share related to the towing device.
In principle, the towing device is always deemed to be in use when a lorry is recommissioned. If a lorry is not used for towing after its commissioning, the taxpayer must give another notification. If no notification is received, the taxpayer will be charged the share related to the towing device. The notification cannot be given retroactively.
The service uses automated decision-making.
