Time is right for pay-per-mile charging, Blair's thinktank says
The Guardian
|October 24, 2024
A pay-per-mile road pricing system should be brought in now, according to Tony Blair's thinktank, which has urged the chancellor to reform motoring taxes.
Rachel Reeves is widely expected to confirm the end of a temporary 5p cut in fuel duty, and possibly announce an inflationary rise in the tax paid on petrol and diesel at the pumps, in her budget next Wednesday.
However, the Tony Blair Institute suggested yesterday that instead of restoring fuel duty rates as planned, Reeves should introduce a simple road-pricing system of 1p a mile for cars and vans, and 2.5p to 4p for lorries and heavy goods vehicles.
