Government to hit business with workplace parking tax

A new tax to be introduced in two years time, is being criticised as a stealth tax that businesses will pass on to employees.

The governments "workplace parking levy", announced last week means that any firm with more than eleven parking spaces will be charged £250 per year for each space. Each company can choose whether, or not, to pass the tax on to employees.

The tax is to be trialed in Nottingham in 2012, with similar trials being considered for Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool & Sheffield.
