Govt Urged to Introduce Pay-Per-Mile Tax ‘Quickly’ - Impact on Drivers!

In this video, we discuss the latest push for a pay-per-mile car tax system in the UK, targeting electric vehicles first. Despite previous denials, this proposal could impact drivers transitioning to EVs, small businesses, and low-income families. Drawing from recent Express articles, we’ll explore the potential privacy issues, high implementation costs, and the broader implications for road maintenance funding.
What are your thoughts on this potential policy change? Let me know in the comments below!

It was obvious that Labour is a rabid ideologically anti car use pro public transport and cycling Socialist movement. The Tories don't know what they are but seriously infiltrated by the former. Which is why they firstly gave the powers to Livingstone and Khan in the London Government Act and then allowed London to be a Socialist run enclave.

They are using green initiatives as a smokescreen to push for more control over people. They don't want most people having freedoms, the ability to travel freely and they want to know you are under the thumb at all times. Authoritarianism is being pushed as green initiatives. The rich want all the best resources and experiences sealed off and free from the average pleb, while the average pleb is like human cattle, productive for them, with barely just enough to be entertained, productive and docile and the inabikity to mive around freely. They are also coming for what we eat soon, with lab grown meats and insect diet pushed. Whilst they eat the very best of foods. Using green initiatives they will push where folk can go, where people live, what they wear, what they put in their mouths. They are coming for total control and MSM is being used to pull the wool. People need to resist and push back. The masses are a sleeping giant that frightens the wealthy the idea of people being awake to what they are doing. That is why they keep everyone divided by division politics, and why there is a constant air of issues around race, gender and any other societal string they can pull on, using the fincial elites bought and paid for news channels and social media channels.

So if you live in a remote area and they cancelled all the buses so you HAVE to use a car? I already pay per mile my fuel, tyres, brakes etc are all taxed already. Yeah thanks!!

And a lot of volunteer drivers will be taken of the roads and as a consequence the nhs waiting times will disappear because people can’t get to appointments……

The NHS will pay them an extra allowance to cover it.

I have no problem with pay per mile- but ONLY if ALL fuel duty is removed from diesel and petrol. But we all know they'll be double dipping... Road tax. Fuel duty. Car insurance premium tax. And now PPM. No. Just no.

[@nigelcox1451]

ICE vehicles already pay per mile, with the tax on the fuel. Fewer miles, or more economical vehicles pay less. Rather than add complication to vehicles, and creating a reporting system, and a collection system, the fuel can be taxed in the same way petrol is. Domestic electricity has a lower rate of VAT applied, as we need power in our homes for basic living. Electricity used for charging EVs should not be part of this. Rather than reducing the VAT on vehicle charging, the same taxes that are added to petrol and diesel could be added to vehicle charging costs. Easy to do on public chargers. For home chargers, insist that all home chargers have a separate meter, to record the electricity used for charging the vehicle. That portion of the electricity bill can have the fuel tax added, and then the normal higher rate of VAT added, just like petrol.

[@melvinplant8637]

BLOCKADE THE ROADS.

[@PhilipBallGarry]

I believe that all home charging installations for the last couple of years have to be separately (smart) metered. This gives almost infinite possibilities for different levels of vat and tariffs, which can be adjusted on a whim.

How much more are they going to charge you to drive. Fuel tax, congestion charge, ulez then they’re going to charge to go over those two bridges in London. Are the government paying all these charges. If they are it will all be going on expenses. They won’t be happy until they’ve got every penny. This is what you get with a Labour government.

[@Chappers.Gaming]

It bet it will Soon be you have an allowance of 1000 Miles per month 12,000 per year. Well give or take 50-100 Miles safety buffer, but Go over that and your Fined £250-£1,000 depending on their judgement. Wanna go on a long distance drive to see family? Well we suggest you use public transportation for the month to be able to use your Miles elsewhere.

[@keithmarshall7715]

15 years ago, I read an article that said we used to work till Tuesday night to pay our taxes, now we work till Wednesday dinner. The percentage of money out of our wage that we pay the government goes up year on year. The people with the most disposable income is the motorist. Pay per mile has been discussed now for over a decade. But in orders to do this across the board they would need tracker devices installed in all cars and have the government monitor its movement and charge accordingly. This is something the government want yet there is huge opposition from the public. They don't want their every movement tracked

[@terryramsey1470]

The British motorists pays far to much now to drive on this dreadful road systems they need to address this it will be their poll tax and we no what happened there

[@rangersnut]

They can get to F#ck. Motorists should all refuse. The cost of living is already out of hand. How can people work and drive at jobs and afford this? Most cannot. Everyone needs to stick together and refuse.

[@ScottyJ1122]

[@tonyelsby8127]

Ironic that motorists, surely among the most consistent earners and generators of wealth in Britain, should be perpetually taken advantage of. Clearly they need their own union-like organisation and the type of influence in politics which might ensure an end to their being robbed. Indeed, they clearly need a greater influence on decision making too which is currently nothing short of vindictive.

[@tonystock856]

To be perfectly fair, no one should be able to claim it back on expenses, unlike now where it’s only the general public paying the full excessive price of petrol and diesel.

[@davidrowley9513]

I can see the whole country shutting down. Due to the fact that the government wanted to centralise everything some years ago many people now have to commute to work. Many families are already struggling trying to make ends meet on low wages sometimes working two jobs creating further commuting. Pay by mile is going to be a tax too far which will make going to work uneconomic when they can get more money by claiming benefits. People are already depressed about lack of quality of life. They struggle with no hope of getting their own home and not being able to afford to have children. The UK is fast loosing it's good feeling factor.

[@clintlee6509]

The pay per mile will be what is in use in some states in the US, when you enter the highway or motorway, a device camera will read your number plate, then, more you stay, higher the cost will be. The goal is to make access to vehicles very expensive and limit the amount of road users.
