Road tolls
According to the plan, a new system of fines for those who do not pay road tax on time will be introduced from 2025. In particular, a graduated fine will be introduced depending on the time of delay in payment. According to the new system, the sooner the debt is paid after the deadline, the smaller the fine imposed on violators will be.
Currently, a horizontal fine equal to twice the value of the annual fee is imposed regardless of the length of the delay in payment, even if it is made one day later than the due date. The aim of the proposed changes is to rationalise the fines and at the same time ensure that the budget receives 1.2 billion euros from the road tax.
