I doubt it’d raise that much (the article states £1.72bn), as there seems to be an assumption increasing the tax wouldn’t lead to a reduction in SUVs, and that everyone would just absorb the cost.
However, I still say go ahead! Even if it only raises a quarter of that, that’s still money coming in, and it means fewer SUVs on our roads. That’s a win-win.
