TRUCKING TAX * USA: For heavy vehicles
* Oregon - Tax heavy truck companies for roads
--- The City Council will consider enacting a Heavy Vehicle Use Tax on Wednesday. It is intended to help pay to repair the disproportionate amount of road damage caused by heavy vehicles in Portland... Transportation Commissioner, Steve Novick, had promised to bring such a funding source to the council when it agreed to place the temporary 10-cent-a-gallon city gas tax on the May 17 Primary Election ballot. The proposed four-year tax does not apply to the diesel fuel used by heavy trucks because there is only one diesel fueling station in Portland, and Novick was afraid truckers would simply bypass it if such a tax were enacted... The ordinance introduced by Novick would impose the tax on businesses that have a Portland business license and pay Oregon's weight-mile tax. It would tax the amount they pay the state 2.8 percent to raise an estimated $2.5 million a year... Portland, ORE, USA - The Portland Tribune, by Jim Redden - 2 May 2016
