Conclusion
The taxes imposed by fuel duty and vehicle excise duty are increasingly duplicated by local schemes that charge motorists for entering congestion zones and clean air zones. New taxes, and particularly those that rely on new technology, take many years to introduce. The patchwork of devolved schemes may make it impossible to deliver a national road pricing scheme. The simultaneous operation of local and national road pricing schemes would subject drivers to confusion and unfair double taxation.
