Road Taxation Database
International comparisons of taxes and charges on road haulage require a framework that can relate all the various taxes and charges levied on transport activities to marginal costs, if they are to provide satisfactory answers to the following types of question.

-- Do hauliers in one country pay more than in the other, and what impact does this have on the profitability of haulage in each country?
-- Is the impact of an increase in tax on diesel the same in each country or are differences
in the taxation of labour more significant?
-- Do these differences distort the international haulage market?
The 2003 ECMT Report 'Reforming Transport Taxes' developed a methodology for making such comparisons.
This database presents these results for selected years between 1998 and 2008
