ULEZ or LEZ Overseas Registered Vehicle: Amount Demanded Challenge

For a ULEZ or LEZ penalty demanded from an overseas registered vehicle or operator, where the sum demanded is in another currency, has an exchange rate applied to it, or carries an administration or collection fee. Pleaded on regulation 13(3)(e), the penalty exceeding the amount applicable, and anchored on regulation 5 of the 2001 Charges Regulations, under which the rates of penalty charges must be specified in the charging scheme. That makes the scheme the only source of the lawful amount, so anything above it is outside it. Also covers service on an address outside the United Kingdom, and separates the ULEZ figures from the very different LEZ figures for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes.

LONDON ULEZ PENALTY CHARGE NOTICES ONLY.

DO NOT USE FOR: a Clean Air Zone outside London (Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Sheffield, Bradford, Tyneside, Portsmouth). Those run on the Transport Act 2000 and SI 2013/1783, the grounds are different, and the appeal goes to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, not to London Tribunals. Also not for council PCNs, red routes, bus lanes or private parking charges.

DEADLINE: representations must reach TfL within 28 days of the date the PCN was served.

Do not pay the discounted amount if you intend to challenge. Payment ends the dispute.

Check the notice before you use this letter, because two different schemes catch foreign registered vehicles and the amounts are not the same.

ULTRA LOW EMISSION ZONE. Cars, vans, minibuses and motorcycles. Penalty £180, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days.

LOW EMISSION ZONE. Heavier vehicles, over 3.5 tonnes. Penalty £500, reduced to £250 within 14 days, rising to £1,500 if it remains unpaid after 28 days.

If you are an operator with several vehicles, check each notice separately. They may not all be under the same scheme.
