Is this like the toll if you bring you car into downtown London, UK?

They talk about this kind of toll in Toronto. Currently the regions around Toronto funel tax dollars to Toronto to cover social costs that were downloaded onto them by the province.

The Mayor of Toronto has also alluded to a Municipal Sales Tax.

I think these charges would hurt business downtown, no? Charge me a toll to come into town and now I come into town a lot less frequently, keeping my money in my neighbourhood.
