| 摘要： | In a report published in February, the Transport Select Committee said a system of road pricing (otherwise known as road user charging) based on miles travelled and vehicle type would enable the Government to maintain the existing Link between motoring taxation and road usage. MPs added that they not seen a viable alternative to a road charging system based on technology that measures road use and urged ministers to act. They pointed out that the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel (only) vehicles from 2030 will cause a decline in Fuel Duty and VED, taxes which are not currently Levied on electric vehicles (EVs), leading to a potential £35bn annual loss to the Exchequer. Committee chair Huw Merriman MP said: 'It's time for an honest conversation on motoring taxes. The countdown to net zero has begun. Net zero emissions should not mean zero tax revenue.' Of course, the switch to EVs is already happening, fuelled, so to speak, by the tax incentives. The Office of Budgetary Responsibility recently adjusted its Fuel Duty forecasts to reflect 'faster than expected take-up of electric vehicles reducing revenues'. MPs also pointed out that, as well as raising revenue, motoring taxes seek 'to manage the costs of motoring such as pollution, emissions and congestion' and that 'cheaper driving is Likely to lead to more driving'. |
