In 2017-18, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) raised a total of around £6.2 billion in revenue.<\/p>
<\/p>
VED is collected nationwide and since it is tied to where individuals choose to register their vehicles, there is no official methodology to identify the VED collected in any particular region. As such, VED does not lend itself to devolution as vehicle registrations do not necessarily correlate with either emissions or vehicle use.<\/em><\/p> <\/p> VED revenues will be hypothecated to the National Roads Fund (NRF) in England from 2020-21. The NRF will provide certainty for roads investment, including in London.<\/p>"}
