Sweden: Criticism of the proposed kilometre tax and raised fuel tax
Göteborgs Posten, 10 Feb 2017, online:-
Representatives of Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies (Sveriges Åkeriföretag) write in a debate article in Göteborgs-Posten that the kilometer tax proposed by the Swedish Government will create major problems and unfair competition. In addition, fuel taxation has been secretly raised. Instead, the writers call for imposing a highly efficient control system for all trucks on Swedish roads. The government should focus on increased road maintenance to ensure traffic safety and reduced wear and tear of the roads, the association claims.
