has a revenue weight exceeding 11,999 kgs,
b
is not a vehicle falling within paragraph 9(2), and
c
is used for drawing a trailer which has a plated gross weight exceeding 4,000 kgs and when so drawn is used for the conveyance of goods or burden.

The annual rate of vehicle excise duty applicable to a relevant rigid goods vehicle is to be determined in accordance with the following tables by reference to—
