what you need to understand is that the government won't have to collect this tax directly. it will be the same as the sales tax. they made a tax collector out of me by requiring that i charge and collect sales tax, for my services, from my customers. I then, in turn, am required to send the money into the state treasurer by a certain date twice a year. the government does nothing other than open the envelope i send them and deposit the money. as of this july, i am required to do this electronically, so now, they don't even have to open the envelope anymore. if they decide to do the mileage tax, it will be verified and collected through the BMV just like they do when you sell a used car to someone. they collect the sales tax when the title is signed over to the buyer. this new task will, however, probably require that the BMV hire additional people to do the verification of mileage etc. so, now we have even more people on the government payroll that won't vote away their new "jobs".
