minus-squareCapricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 day ago500% import duty is way too much. 80% is enough. High one-time taxes are not a good idea. Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes. A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good. At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted. That’s 3 of 8. Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums. So with my 80/80 tax mix they’d actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.
