IFS warns the switch from fossil fuel to electric will cause tax revenue to drop £28bn

2019-10-10 20:19:14 UTC  

Yup

2019-10-10 20:19:44 UTC  

>The ideal approach, it added, would be a system of road pricing under which the charges for driving would vary according to the time of day and the location. Those driving in busy places would pay more, but the majority of journeys would be taxed less heavily than at present, the IFS said.

2019-10-10 20:19:47 UTC  

Thats the fun thing about punitive taxes like carbon tax

2019-10-10 20:19:57 UTC  

Youi get used to the revenue

2019-10-10 20:20:12 UTC  

so the incentive becomes to perpetuate the thing that is giving you that tax

2019-10-10 20:20:24 UTC  

It's a sharp AF double edged sword

2019-10-10 20:20:31 UTC  

``There was an advantage in acting quickly, the IFS warned, because it would be much harder politically to introduce such taxes only once the revenue from fuel duties had dropped much further and many people had bought hybrid or electric cars in the expectation of paying little tax on them``

2019-10-10 20:20:43 UTC  

yeah

2019-10-10 20:20:49 UTC  

that wont go down well

2019-10-10 20:20:55 UTC  

They won't say they're doing it. They'll just do it.

2019-10-10 20:21:42 UTC  

If you want EV savings invest early and get the savings before it doesnt even matter

2019-10-10 20:23:01 UTC  

Same with grants for things like wind energy to make it affordable

2019-10-10 20:23:11 UTC  

That has to go away eventually

2019-10-10 20:23:47 UTC  

and wind either has to step up and be less shit energy density wise or it won't look good for new investments in it

2019-10-10 20:35:25 UTC  

just look at them

2019-10-10 20:35:29 UTC  

and you will understand

2019-10-10 20:35:45 UTC  

Its a religion for the unreligious

2019-10-10 20:36:26 UTC  

Only question is how long will this cult last

2019-10-10 20:36:45 UTC  

cults are funny that way

2019-10-10 20:36:51 UTC  

They are genuinely worse then even the Religious Fundamentalists

2019-10-10 20:37:20 UTC  

EV isn't coming any time soon

2019-10-10 20:37:54 UTC  

That is the gist of what i was saying yes

2019-10-10 21:04:26 UTC  

Boris might actually be able to Leave by Oct 31st

2019-10-10 21:07:05 UTC  

That's if Merkle doesn't turn around and say no anyway.

2019-10-10 21:07:24 UTC  

Merkle can get bent

2019-10-10 21:07:36 UTC  

the 2 most important nations regarding brexit are Ireland and UK

2019-10-10 21:07:49 UTC  

Because Ireland land borders the UK on over 300 roads

2019-10-10 21:08:02 UTC  

the border goes through houses and farm land

2019-10-10 21:08:23 UTC  

pretty much a hard border is impossible really

2019-10-10 21:08:29 UTC  

the border is a mess lmao

2019-10-10 21:08:48 UTC  

You need to go through NI and Ireland several times just to get down to the south sometimes

2019-10-10 21:08:50 UTC  

because it was never meant to be

2019-10-10 21:09:02 UTC  

4 times on one main road

2019-10-10 21:09:28 UTC

2019-10-10 21:35:14 UTC  

That's a bit broad, but yeah, that's quite likely
