FOI reveals figure for 16/17

Manx motorists paid out more than £12 million in road tax during the last financial year.

Figures revealed via freedom of information request show the department of infrastructure collected £12,601,457.

The request was lodged on the 15 December.

Vehicle duties for the next year were increased by six per cent after being given Tynwald approval in June.
