Garages already collect VAT for the government so this would be simple to implement and fair to all road users.  E.g. a car that drives 20,000 miles per annum at 50mpg would use approx. 1,816 litres of fuel @ 10p tax/litre = £181.60 per annum road tax.  Alternatively, a car that drives 20,000 miles per annum at 20mpg would use approx. 4,540 litres of fuel @ 10p tax/litre = £454.00 per annum road tax.  Then, spend ALL the money raised on transport!","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-07T07:35:11.000Z","updated_at":"2017-06-21T15:06:42.252Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T15:06:42.250Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-07T07:35:11.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
