PPM for electric vehicles?

[Bluenile]

So how do you replace the money lost from fuel duty?

That would already be paid when you purchase your electricity. They're not free to charge!

You don’t pay fuel duty on electricity. Jesus.

The bottom end EV’s in the UK start at 21k after incentives.

Bargain

You pay vat on everything that goes back into the treasury,shirley.

No, but you will, but at least that's clarity. Charging 3p per mile on top of the cost of electricity will make haulage unworkable!

That’s VAT. Not fuel duty.

Bargain

It is compared to the 50k one Lisa wants to flog you

 

[Jack2jack]

That’s VAT. Not fuel duty.

Yes, yes I know, but we are talking about recouping fuel duty from somewhere. So vat on electricity and monies from this 3 ppm stealth charge goes someway to redress the balance.

Nah I'll take one off your forecourt ta.

Yes, that’s the whole point of the alleged PPM charge. To replace the lost fuel duty receipts.

 

[Smurph]

Great stuff, how would you like to pay?

 

[Jack2jack]

Yes, that’s the whole point of the alleged PPM charge. To replace the lost fuel duty receipts.

Indeed.

 

[Jack2jack]

Great stuff, how would you like to pay?

50 quid a year for the next 500 years, any good. And I've chucked in a bit of interest.

Sounds good to me

Let them leave. And I’d be taxing them on £1m let alone ten.

There’s always reasons not to tax the super rich, but never for those worse off.

Start at the very top and work downwards.

If they leave they’ll have to find a way of replacing the 60% of the total tax take that they currently contribute or work out which half of public services you want to cut.

It may be unpalatable but the rich move more easily than the less rich. Where they’ve introduced wealth taxes elsewhere they’ve been reversed.
