The main idea in levying vehicle taxes on the public is that they use the road and hence money is required to repair the roads. That is why that heavier the vehicle heavier the tax. Municipal funds as a whole are benefited but taxes on vehicles are based on this very idea. It is competent for the state legislature to authorise the local authorities like Municipilaty to require the inhabitants to pay road taxes or to perform road labor which is in fact a tax. To challenge the validity of the road tax you have to see the provisions of you Municipal Act with regard to the road tax as to whether the Karnataka Legislature has authorise or empower your Municipal to collect road tax on the motor vehicle, tongas and rickshaws etc.
