It is not that difficult
If you anticipate you will drive 15,000 a year, you can set up a plan where you pay $42 a quarter
If you end up driving 16,000 a year, you make up the difference at the end of the year. if you only drove 14,000 you get a rebate or a credit.
You said the mileage was checked and established a rate, which you then pay at re-registration. That would either be a lump sum payment or (now quarterly payments) to pay the previous debt.
But now you need to a setup a new billing apparatus and collection system for those retro payments. Or, now we are establishing a baseline to then project future mileage and you (a) pay the first amount in full, then (b) make quarterly payments on projections with possibly a rebate or overage charge the next time your mileage is checked.
Sorry, way to complicated. Just charge the consumption tax as time of consumption. No tracking of mileage, not projections, not quarterly billing, no debt collection not problems with peoples changing vehicles, changing jobs, or changing driving habits.
