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. A separate notification of using the towing device need not be made when the vehicle is registered or commissioned or when the vehicle is transferred to a new owner.
If the towing device is not used, the taxpayer (owner or holder) 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.

You can also submit Traficom’s notification form at an inspection station. If you submit the form at an inspection station, you will be given a copy of the form. Keep it safe for the verification of the notification.
