Sweden: Road wear tax for heavy trucks is postponed
Dagens Industri, 24 Nov 2016, online:-
Swedish government decided to extend the investigation on a new road wear tax for heavy trucks until 28 February 2017. According to investigator Vilhelm Andersson, the tax would increase the state budget by SEK 3bn (EUR 307.22mn USD 324.40mn) to SEK 4bn a year, but it requires major investments to infrastructure. However, both the transport sector and opposition are against it.
