The Centre of Policy Studies has called for a 'major overhaul' of the UK's motoring taxation system, with a pay-as-you-drive charge introduced. The think tank's Future of Motoring paper warns that the Treasury faces a '£25billion fiscal black hole' in annual receipts from fuel duty when motorists switch from petrol and diesel cars to battery models. The report recommends a per mile taxation scheme in the UK to initially apply to electric cars before being expanded to cover all vehicles.
