in Sweden, the need to change the trafikbeskattningen. It is necessary, in order to cope with the effects of electrification, and the phase-out of fossil fuels. However, it is not only for the financing of the transport system to work, the new taxation, the opportunity should be improved to take into account where you are running. They are driving in a rural area shall not be required to pay for the environmental disturbance, as if they were running in the city.
the transition from taxing fuel to taxing car-driving benefits, but it’s going to take time to work out the details and implementation of the technical system. If a new system will be in place by the end of this decade, in order to do the work to start immediately.
”the road tax for passenger cars. “.
In Norway, where the electrification has already gone a long way, the need for reform had become urgent. Also, the most likely electrification to speed, and then, corresponding to the location of the encounter is here.
the Discussion is about a new way to tax car traffic is going on all around the world.
After a protest against the growing number and complexity of the system, with the bompengar demanded from the parliament (storting) in Norway-a review of the trafikbeskattningen, which, among other things, affect the conditions of a avståndsbaserad road tax. In Singapore, the phasing-in of the rst end-to-vägskattesystemet in the world, is running. If the first two or three years, the system should be up and running. Researchers at the uk’s Institute for fiscal studies has recommended recently by the british government to introduce a similar tax in place. In the EU there is an ongoing review of the so-called ” Eurovignett directive, with a view to körsträckebaserade taxes.
this does not Cover users, these costs must be money to be taken from a different angle.
in Order to mitigate the external costs that it causes in terms of congestion, noise, air pollution, accidents and climate change should be of taxes in addition to reflect these costs. Otherwise there is a risk that, in the future of electric and self-driven cars will be rolling through the city streets in a place to be parked when not in use.
the tax, with the centre of gravity of the gasoline and diesel tax, work all the worse.

The electrification that is underway will lead to the revenues from fuel taxes will decline.
In Norway, it is expected that the total tax revenue from road transport in the year 2020, to be one-third lower than in 2013. So far, due the shortfall, mainly in that the electric cars are exempted from, among other things, försäljningsskatten, but over a period of time will be decreasing revenue from the motor fuel tax is to predominate. The same trend is expected in other countries. In Sweden, the equivalent of drivmedelsskatten for a new petrol car, from 4 to 6 per mile for a diesel car with a key, a crown less.” An electric car is elskatten not be more than 0,60–1,30 per km.
quite Apart from the impact on the climate are the external costs of road traffic are significantly higher in cities than in rural areas. , It makes the landsbygdstrafiken appears to be överbeskattad, and storstadstrafiken which is currently under-taxed.
Current income taxes do not take into account the fact that access to public transport and the need for a car is different in the countryside and in the city. : We are in need of a trafikbeskattning like to take this into account, among other things, in order to be accepted to run the klimatomställningen strong enough.
it is in the day-in the eight european countries, and usually only on the freeways. They also contribute to the financing of the road network, but also to a fairer competition and a less violation of rules on working hours, and the driver of the pace of technological development.
Our approach has been to aggregate the traffic is not going to change, whether or not the taxation of road transport in total should be increasing or decreasing this is really a political question, not a research project.
To implement a avståndsbaserad the road tax is going to take at least 7 to 8 years from the time when an investigation has started, until the system is ready for use. In principle, all of the vehicles included, however, in a situation in which the petrol – and diesel-powered vehicles are on their way to being phased out, there may be reasons to include a road tax for passenger cars is limited to electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Also includes vehicles with internal combustion engine can be vägskatten can be exchanged for a reduction in fuel taxes can, at the 2:50-3 kroner per liter, which is within the current rules require a derogation from the EU’s minimum rates of taxation of motor fuels.
this is A simplistic differentiation, that is, in a better way than today to reflect the external costs that it causes, may be composed of the road tax levied in the rural areas. In the smaller towns and on the highways becomes a tax of 1 penny per mile, and in the large cities, 5-5:40 per mile for the gasoline – and diesel-powered cars, the 10 to 20 percent lower than for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. This is to be compared with the current körkostnad on electric power for a total of about 2-3 per mil. To switch the motor fuel taxes toward a geographically-tiered road tax means the total tax, per-mile for a rural fuel, and dieselbilister will be left unchanged, or even slightly lower, compared with the current situation. In cities with a congestion tax, however, will be higher.
the new road tax will not be sufficient to achieve the climate change targets, but need to be coordinated with the review of other instruments, mainly fuel taxation, reduktionsplikten as well as the motor vehicle tax.
There are a lot of technical solutions for the charging of the tax. The technology is evolving rapidly, and many of the most important facilities are already available in modern cars. Will probably a single system in the EUROPEAN union, to be developed during this period. However, it is important to be Sweden, in this case, the driving force and influence on the system, because we are in a rural area that is greatly affected by the design of the scheme.
however, We have not found anything that appears to be a difficult one to solve. The vehicle movement is less of an issue than the in a relationship is to have personal integrity, but the data needs to be controlled. The cost of administering the system will need to be kept low at the same time, the system should be simple and predictable. Again, this will probably have an EU-wide harmonisation will be easier and less expensive. One of the early Swedish initiatives and co-operation with our nordic neighbours is a great option.
all in all, however, the gains for the establishment of a körsträckebaserad of taxation is so big, social, environmental, and tax policy, to the government and the authorities of the urgent need to develop a plan for the introduction of a road tax. In Norway, where the electrification has already gone a long way, the need for reform had become urgent. Also, the most likely electrification to speed, and then, corresponding to the location of the encounter is here.
so, to avoid such a situation, is to quickly launch an investigation so that a changeover can be carried out on a regular basis.
