Got to happen surely. Put the tax on fuel. Job done. Much fairer.

Why should a car with zero emissions pay tax....
Or maybe the govt will do what they always do. Encourage people to invest in electric cars & incentivise them to do it until loads do it then tax the sh1t out of them!
I've never understood why LPG hasn't taken off with manufacturers , the cost of a factory fit LPG kit is probably under £500 compared to the £2500 for a Diesel engine and LPG is still lower tax than petrol so 1/2 price and more widely available than charging points
Why should a car with zero emissions pay tax....we need to encourage reducing emissions do we not? I thought this was the idea.
Aren't electric cars zero road tax at the moment anyway so what difference?
Agreed but how much of our Car Tax revenue goes on roads. I understood it was about 5%. They must spend about 50p a year near where I live! I could do more with my £2k of Car Tax revenue myself!!Because they still need roads and wear them out.
Yes they are zero tax now, but that cannot continue if they become popular. The government only has our money to use.

The tax needs to be on fuel mainly with some thoughts on how to help keep roads/infrastructure in good nick. Needs to be on use. The more you use the more you pay. Simples.
Depends on where the other 95% actually comes from at the moment. I have no idea...any ideas?Sorry, though you asked why they should pay tax
Of course the other point you raise *also* answers your question. If they didn't pay tax, where would the other 95% of the money that they don't spend on roads come from....
