Parking spaces used by customers, motorbikes, display vehicles, fleet vehicles, vehicles primarily being used to deliver or collect goods, and employees who live at their place of work would not be charged and would not need to be licensed.

100% Discount

No charge would be payable by the emergency services, qualifying NHS premises* and employers who provide 10 or fewer liable parking places in total within Nottingham City Council's administrative boundary. Disabled workplace parking places will also receive the 100% discount. All of the above would still be required to apply for a WPL licence.

Free travel planning and parking management advice and assistance is available from Nottingham City Council. With the right support it is possible to reduce the number of single occupancy car journeys to sites, thereby reducing an employers' liability for the WPL charge.

It is the employers' decision whether or not to pass the cost of the levy (about £1 day per liable vehicle to begin with) onto its employees to offset the financial impact of the scheme.

^{*Employers who are situated on NHS premises but who are not providing NHS services (health service hospital services, ambulance services, primary medical services under arrangements made by a Primary Care Trust) will not be entitled to the 100% discount and will be liable to pay the levy.}
