Some other structures that exist:
- Vehicle Value based
- Vehicle class based (I believe this is what the US uses?)
- Engine size based (this was the old one in my home country, basically being used as a proxy for emissions)
- Emissions based (this is the current one in my country. Full electric cars are taxed at the lowest rate)
I guess vehicle weight accounts for a compartmentalized externality, that of wear on the roads, but I think most of Europe has or is moving to emissions based to focus on larger externalities, at least until petrol cars are a novelty, then they might look at wear on the rounds as a factor to consider again.
- dghlsakjg 3y ago> Vehicle class based (I believe this is what the US uses?) The US allows each of the states/ territories to tax and regulate vehicles separately. In other words, what I might pay in Colorado has nothing to do with what I might pay in New York for the same vehicle.
