Miller Civil Engineering Limited do not collect tolls on the Skye Bridge. The right to collect tolls has been assigned to Skye Bridge Limited, while the operation and maintenance of the bridge is carried out on SBL's behalf by the joint venture Miller Dywidag. Both Skye Bridge Limited and Miller Dywidag are VAT registered.
