As the number of electric vehicles is going to greatly increase in the coming years the total income produced by adding more to the tax on petrol/diesel is progressively going to decrease.

The fairest tax is on mileage usage.

My suggestion is to make the charge annually (like the existing vehicle tax) but based on the mileage shown on the annual MOT.

Should a vehicle be sold or scrapped during the year the mileage should be verified by a MOT station then the mileage cost due at that time would be paid by the seller/scrapper.at the same time as they notify the DVLA of the change.

Any clocking would perhaps be deterred by a very extensive ban and heavy fine.
