Pay per mile is a duplication of the existing fuels taxes on petrol / diesel etc. Petrol and diesel are already taxed at 80+% at the pumps. The objective being to get drivers to obtain the highest MPG through vehicle choice and careful driving. Pay per mile subverts the right for a driver to choose how much they are prepared to consider the cost per mile of their driving. Will we have to submit mileage reports? OR will they use on our MOT's / service documentation? Difficult to administer and an unfair tax.

The good news about this is that it will hurt their voters more than it will hurt me.

The new proposal is being considered because government is well aware of the uptake of EV's and low emission cars and know it will hinder their income significantly as time moves on. The UK tends to roll out new VED schemes to newer cars and the general opinion is we will see a gradual rollout, starting with EV's and hybrid cars, then moving on to low emission cars. These cars are where the car tax is hemorrhaging lost revenue and will bring a swift boost to the coffers. The rates are believed to be around 3p per mile, so an average driver maybe looking at a cost of around £240 for the current average driver that travels 8000 miles per year.

Dont pay it. No one pay it. No one.

Exactly it's that simple

People will just shrug their shoulders and accept it - we always do. The covid - stupidity, showed how stupid we are en-mass.

[@ranter7100]

@@martin2466 You don't even have to pay the thing. It's your choice.

Disgusting how they are trying to get people to stop driving. It's like we are going back in time. They will be only allowing bicycles soon on the roads. It is absolutely ridiculous.

[@Brian-om2hh]

Don't be silly. No way could this government afford to lose the £35 billion per year in tax revenues it rakes in from the motorist.....

[@Hunterfinn625]

If everyone refuses to pay, it will disappear like a fart in the wind.

[@steveh4863]

You have been trained all your life to be obedient and scared in equal measure. All from governments that have no democratic right to do so. Do not comply.

Surely paying for fuel is pay-per-mile. So we will have Car Tax, PPM and Fuel charges.

Starmer has said in a speech this morning that the next budget is going to be "painful". No kidding...
