answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2020 answer text <p>UK Motorists currently pay fuel duty and VAT on fuel, which means that those who use the roads the most, and do so in higher polluting cars, pay more tax. In addition, the Government uses the Vehicle Excise Duty system to encourage the uptake of cars with low carbon dioxide emissions (CO<sub>2</sub>) to help meet our legally binding climate change targets.</p><p> </p><p>However, technology is changing many aspects of the economy – including the vehicles we drive – and the government is considering how the tax system will need to adapt to manage those changes.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 21/07/2020 15:24:46 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
