Road tax system could be remodelled

Problems caused by administrative errors?

The Infrastructure Minister says some discrepancies in the current road tax system could have simply come from administrative errors.

Ray Harmer's Department is seeking to formulate a simpler and fairer system for the Manx public, incorporating responses to a public consultation on the matter.

Over 600 responses were received from members of the public weighing in on how the Island's 71,000 registered vehicles and 683 miles of road should be governed.

Mr Harmer says there are some problems with the current system that need to be ironed out.
