In a reaction to a story in today’s edition of the Times of Malta suggesting a possible “congestion tax on vehicles,” Transport Malta said there are no plans to introduce congestion tax or any other form of tax on car movements in Malta.
“The story itself indicates, that this suggestion is for demonstration purposes. The master plan examines the impact if such measure were to be introduced in the most critically congested zones in Malta.”
The suggested measure is part of hundreds of other measures in the National Transport Plan 2025, issued for public consultation. The plan also clearly indicates that studying the potential of this measure would be a post 2025 measure if considered, and would only kick in after other positive incentives and infrastructure investments have been undertaken, TM said.
