Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the impact of car-related taxes in Japan from the viewpoint of their impact on transportation policy goals, revenue generation and controlling transportation demand. They account for about 10 percent of all taxes raised and include taxes on buying cars, regular ownership and usage taxes, and fuel taxes. The authors developed a model of car usage by household to determine how taxes affect car ownership and use and how and if tax subsidies affect transit ridership. Similar research has been one in the EU and the U.S. One key element in Japan is the high share of rail transit, as much as 45 percent of commuter trips in Tokyo and nationwide averaging more than 30 percent of commuter trips. The model studied fuel consumption as a factor of car ownership, use and travel speed. Given current trends, fuel consumption is expected to rise 41 percent by 2010. The study sought to understand which car-related taxes would best reduce this growth in fuel consumption. It found that a fuel tax is more efficient than acquisition or ownership taxes, subsidies for mass transit work, incentives for manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency might work, but taxes are limited in how much they can reduce fuel use.

日本汽车相关税收对燃料消耗的影响分析
本文从交通政策目标、创收和控制交通需求的角度分析了日本汽车相关税收的影响。这些税约占所有增税的10%,其中包括购置税、普通拥有税和使用税以及燃油税。作者开发了一个家庭使用汽车的模型,以确定税收如何影响汽车的拥有和使用,以及税收补贴如何以及是否影响公共交通乘客。欧盟和美国也有类似的研究。日本的一个关键因素是轨道交通的高份额,东京高达45%的通勤出行,全国平均超过30%的通勤出行。该模型将燃料消耗作为汽车拥有、使用和行驶速度的一个因素进行研究。按照目前的趋势,到2010年,燃料消耗预计将增长41%。这项研究试图了解哪种与汽车相关的税收最能减少燃料消耗的增长。研究发现,燃油税比购并税或所有权税更有效,对公共交通工作提供补贴,鼓励制造商提高燃油效率可能会起作用,但税收在减少燃料使用方面是有限的。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Transport, Economics and Policy (JTEP) was first published over 40 years ago and quickly established itself as an essential source of information and debate on the economics of transport and its interface with transport policy. Today it continues to provide a much-needed focus for this specific area of transport research ­ a single, accessible resource of international articles which also reflect the diverse nature of the current field. JTEP meets the challenge of innovation and change, regularly publishing the latest policy developments and their impact across the world.
