I presume that you do not pay council tax, or any other form of taxation, as local roads are paid for by the council that gets its money from council tax & central government. |

So you agree cyclists pay for the roads they use many times over given the 4th power of axle loading rule. |

VED is the only specific motoring tax, it raises £6billion pa of which £10billion is spent on motorway maintenance, even Autoholics Anonymous agree with that. So the VAT on fuel, and tax on new cars, tax on vehicle parts/service. tolls etc does not exist. Paid by all road users but only motorists can use motorways. Pedestrians aren't allowed on motorways whether they have driving licences or not. Apart from mopeds, invalid carriages, certain milk floats and maybe one or two other equally esoteric specialist vehicles, any vehicle which uses taxed motor spirit (petrol or diesel) is allowed onto a motorway. At a conservative estimate, tax paid annually on fuel for the average private car will be a minimum of about ten times more than the rate of Road Tax for that vehicle. In the case of my own car, with its £20 a year Road Tax, the fuel tax bill over 12,000 miles is more than sixty times greater, at something like £1250+ a year. And that's in addition to the Road Tax, plus Insurance Premium Tax, plus VAT on servicing, repairs and consumables. PS: I have always thought it daft - and probably immoral - to charge VAT on essential safety maintenance and spares on any vehicle. |
