TAXATION OF VOLUNTEER DRIVERS

That this House is dismayed at the introduction of income tax liability on volunteer car drivers from 6th October 1991; notes the necessary and valuable contribution made by these drivers to community transport schemes and Dial-a-Rides; notes that these taxation measures will reduce the availability of such volunteer drivers throughout the country, particularly in rural areas, because of the complexity of the tax collection system; notes that volunteer hospital and ambulance services are likely to be the hardest hit; and calls upon the Treasury to exempt bona fide or registered community transport associations' drivers from this liability to tax on mileage expenses.
