Performance-related Heavy Vehicle Charge (LSVA)

The performance-related heavy vehicle charge (LSVA) is a federal levy based on the kilometres driven in the customs territory, the total weight, and the emission level. It applies to motor vehicles and their trailers that have a maximum permissible laden weight of more than 3,5 tonnes and are used to transport goods.
