With the rise in electric vehicles and improved fuel efficiency promising to squeeze revenues from fuel taxes in many countries, a new OECD report calls on governments to rethink their tax policy on road transport. It calls for a shift away from taxing fuel and more focus on taxing road use, particularly through distance and congestion charges.
Redesigning road transport taxes to better reflect the external costs of road transport would in itself raise more revenue in nearly all cases, according to the report Taxing Vehicles, Fuel and Road Use: Opportunities for Improving Transport Tax Practice.
