Congestion Charge Receipt

About the Congestion Charge Receipt

A congestion charge receipt documents payment for driving a vehicle inside a designated urban charging zone, most commonly London's Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ) operated by Transport for London (TfL). It confirms the vehicle registration, charge date, amount paid, and payment reference. People recreate or retain these receipts for employer mileage reimbursement, business expense claims, or to resolve a disputed Penalty Charge Notice.

Congestion Charge in Numbers

London's Congestion Charge launched in February 2003, making it one of the world's first large-scale urban road-pricing schemes. Operated by Transport for London, the zone covers central London and charges a daily fee for most motor vehicles. The scheme has generated billions of pounds in net revenue, the majority reinvested into London's public transport network.
