TfL have stated that ULEZ is a tax. Because some vehicles are exempt from the congestion charge, but they still cause congestion, it would be difficult to prove the CC was any different.In short, by not changing all private vehicles they have effectively made it a tax."Unlike the Congestion Charge, diplomats are exempt from paying the ULEZ charge because it is not a universal charge but a charge which is levied in respect of the most polluting vehicles and is therefore not a charge for specific services rendered."https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/payment-ulez-embassies-and-diplomatic-missions
