Chancellor Faces Calls for Pay-Per-Mile Road Tax

Campaign for Better Transport urges Rachel Reeves to address looming revenue shortfall from electric vehicle adoption.

Campaigners warn of a significant tax revenue gap as more drivers switch to electric vehicles.
Proposed tax would charge all vehicles per mile, with higher rates for more polluting cars.
The RAC and other transport bodies support the measure to ensure fair contributions from all drivers.
Previous governments have avoided road pricing due to its political sensitivity.
Rachel Reeves is set to deliver her first Budget on October 30.
