According to Rachel Burgess of Business Car Magazine plans for workplace parking taxes are emerging across the UK, with York and Exeter city councils first to follow Nottingham’s confirmed scheme by revealing proposals for charging businesses that providing parking for employees.

However, states Rachel, the Forum of Private Business has branded the additional tax burden, intended to cut congestion and reduce carbon emissions, as “unfair, unsustainable and unacceptable”.

“It is an attempt to tax struggling businesses for employing people at a time when we should be facilitating them to take on staff. Instead we are penalising them,” a spokesman told BusinessCar. “It is very much a case of looking for short-term gain at the expense of longer term economic stability.”
