You drive, you pay. It`s a money machine.
That's what I meant. The majority of our fuel price IS TAX.
Sales tax.
That's VAT. In English English that is.
Highway road tax and for some of us local/county road/bridge tax.
That's what I call tax on certain legs. Like a certain speedway etc. Differes in Euroland between countries. Countries you see..
Yes, but whine, for driving in the USA is completely cheap compared to Europe for instance. In Europe it's a money machine for the governments. In many countries the money is used for structures demanded by more cars and traffic. After all, you have a bigger population on much less turf, estate prices higher etc, - just a crossing on the highway can be quite an issue!
