Not to sure how you’d charge people per mile, i do 25k plus a year, the last car i sold had 123k on clock yet when i was resold only had 97k on clock less than a thousand miles higher than its previous MOT.The problem for Reeves with fuel duty is cars are more economical these days and we have electric cars. I suspect she’ll be more tempted to look at pay per mile. Given the unfair nature of fuel duty (you pay tax on tax) I’d like to see a much fairer system where we pay a fixed cost to register your car each year (around £500) with a pay per mile on main roads and remove fuel duty entirely. Obviously HGVs and the such would have some other fixed cost and potentially per mile rate to pay.
It’ll be far simpler to implement and far more transparent- I suspect it will make people question if they need to travel far more than the current model as it’s much clearer how much each mile costs.
Not sure what the situation is today but I remember years ago there were £millions in unpaid car taxYup. Flat fee + charge per mile. As you’ll only be able to track mileage on main roads the flat fee is to cover people who never really venture out on them
Could it not be achieved on fuel, those who do most miles pay more?Not to sure how you’d charge people per mile, i do 25k plus a year, the last car i sold had 123k on clock yet when i was resold only had 97k on clock less than a thousand miles higher than its previous MOT.
I hate these cunts
Don’t they already do that, you could add more of course but alas business costs can’t usually be absorbed and get passed on, we all pay more as we saw when inflation spiked just after Russian invasion of Ukraine.Could it not be achieved on fuel, those who do most miles pay more?
Classic bitter Labour supporter. Happy so long as others are worse off. What a great attitude you have.These hard-working mums and dads can simply drink less high street coffee and get rid of their Netflix subscription. Maybe not have a wide screen telly and/or sky tv and all will be fine for them.
That’s what the genuine poor have been told for the last 14 years. Sauce for the goose etc.

That's a talent to have.I sense you’re not a fan. It’s a gift I have.
We do, I was thinking how car tax dodgers could be addressedDon’t they already do that, you could add more of course but alas business costs can’t usually be absorbed and get passed on, we all pay more as we saw when inflation spiked just after Russian invasion of Ukraine.
