DoI planning to hike car tax by 10 per cent
The infrastructure minister has predicted the proposed increase to vehicle tax will generate approximately £1 million extra.
£14 million is currently collected each year which goes into Tynwald's general revenue fund.
The Department of Infrastructure wants to increase tax by 10 per cent - the plans will go before Tynwald in March.
Just over £6-million is spent on the people, materials and services needed to maintain the Island's roads.
Chris Thomas says many of the larger infrastructure schemes are paid for as capital projects:
Gov't considering ban on smartphones for under-16s in schools
Mountain Road closure for pre-TT preparations
Chair of southern swimming pool says community kept the pool open
Thresholds for first time buyers schemes need addressing, says commissioner
'Specialist training' for teachers delivering Sex Ed classes
Lack of resources impacting charities registering with AG
