Default Re: Fuel Taxes

I'm not sure how we do things differently but I'd prefer higher stamp duty out of those.

I'm from Canberra from so obviously tolls are not an issue for here (yet!) but I do 60km round trip a day even in such a massively underpopulated small city.

A tax on a kays seems logical but in practice it would be harder on lower income people because usually they don't live close to the action. I could cop it but I know it would be quite a burden for many around here.

I was quite surprised to learn that tobacco excise is expected to bring in about 3x fuel excise. It is far ahead of anything else.
