@rrustema020@mastodon.nl @dneary@mastodon.ie @MrAndrewD@aus.social @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com I have often suggested disallowing cars, small vans, petrol and diesel against tax, and allowing all public transport fares against tax. It could cause a surprising amount of modal shift, especially amongst higher-rate taxpayers.
And it would remove the incentive to buy these monsters.

@peterbrown@mastodon.scot @dneary@mastodon.ie @MrAndrewD@aus.social @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com With disallowing those against tax you mean that they can't be used as costs to reduce taxable profits? Not a native speaker, and not tax savy, so I don't know 'against tax' as an expression.
