Canada is introducing an additional tax on cars based their emissions, around 1-4k depending on emissions levels.
Last night, for some reason, my dream included the concept of taxes on buying a car. The rest of the dream aside, the tax idea in that dream was interesting, and what I want to talk about.
What if the tax for buying a car was changed to that of its mileage?
If a car gets 15.5 L/100km, then the 'tax' would be 15.5%
If a car gets 7.0 L/100km, then the 'tax' would be 7.0%
The mileage would be left to the car/dealership company to determine.
If they state a mileage that is believed false, then its up to the individual to determine the truth. If that individual (law firm) does a recognized study and proves the stated value is falsely low, then the car company/dealership is open to lawsuits.. many many lawsuits
thoughts?
