Drivers should be taxed for every mile they travel to help Rachel Reeves fix a hole in Britain’s public finances, a leading think tank has urged. The think tank has proposed a system to hit drivers with an annual tax plus another fee of between 3p and 9p per mile driven. It’s feared the Chancellor will have to raise as much as £30bn in taxes in her November Budget. Taxing drivers per mile could raise up to £20bn per year for the Government, the Resolution Foundation suggested. The Resolution Foundation estimates the changes would raise £2bn per year by the end of the decade, £10bn in 2035 and £20bn per year by 2040.
