The idea
Get rid of the so called road tax and spread the cost by increasing fuel duty.
That way we end up with an equitable system where by the highest users pay the most and the most frugal and efficient drivers pay the least.
Why is it important?
A massive saving on civil servants who administer a monster of a system which now also includes SORN.
It will also remove the cost burden from enforcement – can the cost of enforcement and punishment for non-payment of an £80 tax disc really be efficient / cost effective.
