Download or read book Vehicle Excise Duty as Environmental Tax written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Environmental Audit Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year's budget made some significant changes to annual road tax (vehicle excise duty or VED). The main changes included: introduction of six new VED bands from 2009-10, bringing the total number of bans to 13; applying this new regime of 13 bands to exisiting cars on the road first registered on or after 1 March 2001; and introduction of a new rate of VED for new cars in the first year in which they are bought. The Environmental Audit Committee's aims in this report were to examine the projected enivronmental impacts of these changes, to review how fair these changes are, and to make recommendations to the Treasury as to how it should proceed. The Committee felt that there was nothing intrinsically wrong in the rebanding of cars registered since 2001 but that there was a lack of data about the financial impacts of these change on lower-income groups. The new-first year rates were welcomed. However concerns remain that the differentials between VED bands are still not large enough to drive market transformation. The Treasury should have taken much greater care to explain the changes in VED in the Budget. If the point of green taxes is to change behaviour, they need to be properly publicised. In general, the Treasury needs to develop a proper communications strategy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From adjusted gross income to zoning and property taxes, the second edition of The Encyclopedia of Taxation and Tax Policy offers the best and most complete guide to taxes and tax-related issues. More than 150 tax practitioners and administrators, policymakers, and academics have contributed. The result is a unique and authoritative reference that examines virtually all tax instruments used by governments (individual income, corporate income, sales and value-added, property, estate and gift, franchise, poll, and many variants of these taxes), as well as characteristics of a good tax system, budgetary issues, and many current federal, state, local, and international tax policy issues. The new edition has been completely revised, with 40 new topics and 200 articles reflecting six years of legislative changes. Each essay provides the generalist with a quick and reliable introduction to many topics but also gives tax specialists the benefit of other experts' best thinking, in a manner that makes the complex understandable. Reference lists point the reader to additional sources of information for each topic. The first edition of The Encyclopedia of Taxation and Tax Policy was selected as an Outstanding Academic Book of the Year (1999) by Choice magazine."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Evasion of vehicle excise duty written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evasion of vehicle excise duty (VED) rose to 5 per cent (£214 million) in 2006, up from 3.6 per cent in 2005. Amongst motorcyclists, the evasion rate increased to 38 per cent from 30 per cent the previous year. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), overseen by the Department for Transport, is tasked with tackling evasion. The Agency had accepted that it would not achieve its targets of reducing evasion to 2.5 per cent by December 2007, and saving £70 million a year by the end of 2007-08. Not licensing a vehicle and registering the keeper increasingly reflect the intention to avoid congestion charges and prevent identification of criminals, as well as the actual evasion of VED. Problems are also caused by false and foreign number plates. The report notes DVLA's lack of resources to undertake on-the-road enforcement. It questions the effectiveness of the DVLA's current enforcement approach, and whether the DVLA understands the patterns and motivations for evasion well enough to design fully effective counter-measures. Working with partner organisations such as the police and local authorities is the best way to tackle persistent offenders. In the medium term the DVLA may need to move to increasingly advanced technological solutions, such as the insertion of electronic chips into number plates.

Download or read book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domestic taxation of petroleum products is an important source of revenue in most countries. However, there is a wide variation of tax rates on petroleum products across countries, which cannot be explained by economic theory alone. This paper surveys different considerations advanced for taxing petroleum and presents petroleum tax rate data in 120 countries. It concludes that a significant reduction in the present extremely wide variation in petroleum prices and tax rates appears warranted.
