would be interesting someone to answer the questions of concern, rather annoying to the Chileans and for which I have not read any response yet.
1. Why in the last decade, this tax has tripled?. When created in 1990 its value was 2.58 UTM per cubic meter (1,000 liters), currently is 6.00 UTM.
2. "This tax funds highways and roads?. The reason why you think this tax to finance the modernization of road infrastructure has no legitimacy. Today, individuals pay to use toll roads whose construction is financed also by individuals. And in regions far from Santiago, the modernization of roads: primary, secondary and rural areas is very slow.
3. Is there discrimination between a person who lives in Santiago and other regions living in?. In some parts of the country gasoline exceeds the $ 700 barrier and for them is still an arduous task to move from one sector to another. (See the status of Cape Horn).
4. "The arrangement of streets is also funded with the same tax? Then why there is a registration certificate?.
5. What percentage the price paid per liter of gasoline, goes in taxes?. On the one hand there is the excise tax on gasoline which is 6 per cubic meter UTM: for every liter of petrol to charge about $ 191 per liter is to fund this tax. If motorists also add the value added tax (VAT), realizes that the total amount paid for a liter of gasoline, 42%, will give the treasury.
6. Was not a tax "transitional"? . While the creation of this tax was due to a specific event (reconstruction after the earthquake of 1985). What nobody has explained is that once a tax is installed is very difficult to remove, and that over time, this tribute has become an important collector and removing the lower government revenues should be raised by another concept. Unless spending is reduced. Difficult, no?.
7. Is this additional tax is to protect us from contamination? So what happens to the tax on oil used in public transport is 1.5 UTM per m3. Is not the oil more polluting than gasoline. Do not encourage this lower oil tax to assess, at the time of self-change the option to purchase a diesel. As a result, is not would be even more damaging air quality?.
8. Or the aim today is to decongest streets that tax?. "discouraging car use?. In Santiago necessary! .... But why the rest of the country is a priority?.
