ROAD USER CHARGE FOR FINLAND - PRESTUDY

The Pre-study for Road User Charging in Finland was commissioned by the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communication and the Road Administration in the autumn 2005. Finland does not yet apply road user charges (expect general vehicle taxes). However, the environment is changing as other countries apply or plan to introduce RUC especially for Heavy Goods Vehicles and European Transport Policy favours taxation of road use rather than of vehicle taxation. The main results of the pre-study are a general overview on the general principles and constraints for RUC, the existing and planned RUC-systems in various European countries and the starting points and possibilities for Finland.
