Government has no plans to introduce road pricing for UK drivers | Autocar

He told Hunt: “The committee’s inquiry was substantial. We heard from four panels of witnesses, including from Mike Williams on behalf of HM Treasury, and received 148 written evidence submissions. We made 13 substantial recommendations.

“Your initial response to our report suggests that addressing this enormous deficit in revenue is not considered a government priority,” he told Hunt, inviting the Treasury to respond in greater detail and to give an idea of its timescales for considering"road pricing models". “It is important that the government continues to focus on the cost of living and delivering its core priorities, as set out in the 2019 manifesto,” Cartlidge said.

There's a question, too, around retro-fitting older vehicles with the means to be tracked and charged, unless these continue to be taxed under the old system. There's also the issue of influencing driver behaviour with demand pricing, which many will resent, as well as data capture and driver privacy. On this point, the TSC said the government must ensure that data management is subject to rigorous oversight.

Why introduce road pricing as a 'replacement' when it can be Introduced in addition to collect even more tax revenue from motorists

lol

Can’t wait for 2025 when my Mini ⚡️ VED will be more expensive than my wife’s diesel BMW 😂

But HMRC will definitely find a way to generate the same tax returns from motorists over the next decade. I guess we all brace ourselves for just how they are going to do it!

It’s inevitable but yeah you keep buying those EV’s

So just increase the VED on EVs.

But to replace duty on petrol / diesel?

You know why? Because that’s the worry of the next government. - No plans now. - Plain sailing until the GE. - They know they’ll be losing the next GE. - Incumbent Govt, forced to make the call to replace fuel duty revenue. - Decision impacts Labour, not Tories A cop out.
