SO THE COST OF EVERYTHING WILL GO UP

Think of the millage lorry drivers do ? service engineers ?your 3pound delivery charge for your home delivery charge will go up postal service, all the home delivery service dpd, fedex taxi drivers air port services

these people are sitting on the bench with 2nd homes getting paid 150k plus all the expenses
and jo public on minim wage has to pay for all their mistakes and only takes home on average 26k takes 6 years to earn what they do on overage

We already pay per mile on fuel. Does that mean there will be no tax on fuel back to the 59p per gallon days?

Perhaps trains are fine to get to and from work. I used to ge ton the train when I worked in London for a computer games company. That was 20 years again now. Trains probably cost a lot more and more strikes. Bring back british rail.
They do have planned strikes when they want more money, they plan this at critical times like christmas or easter holidays, they appear to try to time it when familes are wanting to travel longer distances. They even done a planned strikes when Goodwood Festival of speed was on a couple of years back, which ment the A27 was even more gridlocked than usual.
To be honest I dont really consider using a train to go places anymore, they are probably reliable alot of the time, but the couple of times I have planned to use them its been cancelled. Those couple of times has really put me off, even though 100's of times they have been fine.

I'm fine with pay per mile if they take the tax off fuel, as that is effectivly pay per mile on liquid fuel vehicles.

pay per mile could effect business and people living in countryside and who have to travel to work as there is no sutible public transport in their area,
hgv do tons of millage so cost of goods will go up, taxi driver will put prices up,
more cost to emergency services, more cost to mobile careers
cant believe the rac are backing this as this would impact them as less cars on the road so less breakdowns also less cars mean less work for garages if you use pubic transport if you can afford or want to be in debt buying a EV vehicle that puts strain of your money,

Pay-per-mile car tax changes could address a 'very real problem' for petrol, diesel and EV drivers

Two-thirds of Britons believe it is fair for EV drivers to be taxed at a lower rate than petrol and diesel motorists

Maybe should be emissions tax.
Also some form of road tax depending on weight. The heavier you are the more damage to roads.

Perhaps two taxing methods. Liquid fuel is charged at the pump. Perhaps make pay per mile for EVs only? Need a form of hybrid taxing for hybrid cars.

I see the house of common debated about the oasis tickets the other day.

• What does it have to do with them?
• Why waste valuable time debating that?

If people want to desperately go to the event they will pay whatever. if it's too much then don't go.

Coat at the pump is apparently coming down.

Probably means the government will be getting money from other sources. Usually when cost of oil comes down it would get cheaper at the pump but they fill the change with more tax so we see no difference.

'Labour may have U-turned on pay-per-mile but these £980 charges are coming'

Petrol, diesel and electric car owners are set to be impacted with new motoring charges on the horizon.

Took a bit of searching to find the scare mongering bit in the title of £980 charges coming.

Many drivers could also be caught out by the Expensive Car Supplement which adds a £400 fee to every model valued over £40,000.

Add all of this together and EV owners could be hit with a £724 price rise in a matter of months. Meanwhile, those with both an electric and combustion vehicle may have the double blow of a £984 increase.

Pay-per-mile may be gone. But motorist's problems have seemingly only just begun.

Going by that it seems to be assumbing a petrol car is around £200 tax, which I guess is normal. so really just a price hike on EV's.

Atleast is looks like Pay Per Mile is put to bed for now. We already pay per mile on fuel effectivly, the more miles/fuel we use we pay for it.

200 quid tax normal you on another planet like the government lol..
There is such a variation in road tax from zero to 700 plus. And the tax on a new car say a jag with a v8 it was around 800 new of the forecourt ( premium) then it was done on the cars factory stats for emissions.
Take a audi a4 2lt petrol 2008 360 quid go 2 to 3 years newer same 2lt engine bigger car more tec but lift the bonnet same engine it's now half the road tax.
Yes there needs to be a better fairer system just not sure what or how they can do it.

Mybe?????
Business could plan the routes better to be more productive less miles more work not the other way around.

Domestic private car owners
Shouldn't be penalised for haveing a nice car they might only do 3k a years but want power and comfort and can't afford to spent 30 to 50k on a new car and put them self's into debt

Plubic transport could do more on EV front

Lorrys big haulage farming vechiles could pay do more due to weight and damage on roads

Don't penalised rural communities for people that live in towns big cities where there is more congestion pollution. Government has created these congested polluted areas..


They say private or average use is about 10 to 15k business use can be double triple or more for that same period. Look at sales reps on the road the cars and millage they use and damage. Years ago my Vito merc after 4 years had 164k on the clock. The tax on that was cheaper than my subaru at the time and did between between 3 and 5k a year but the private owner is penalised more than a business.

One company I worked for Sent me to Guernsey to do fire alarm test a retail shop in the High Street. I said sub it to local cintractor be cheaper and get job done quicker. Nope part of are contractor? We used subbies in and around London so why not there?? So what impact did my day have on environment?? Lost production as couldn't do any other jobs that day air plane flight there and back taxi from airport both ways the admin behind the sceane to sort job the over cost to do job. Me getting paid zillions of pounds to do the job now that bit nice lol..
