Hauliers call for 'pay as you go' road tax
The Government has today been urged to scrap road tax for heavy goods vehicles in favour of a 'pay as you go' charge for the entire national road network.
The proposal, part of the Irish Road Haulage Association's 2010 Pre-Budget Submission, is also aimed at generating tax revenue from foreign haulage operators using Irish roads, to protect jobs and prevent Irish road haulage companies from going out of business.
