The Polish road network mandates tolls for all motorized vehicles exceeding 3.5 tons. Oversight is provided by the national operator SZEF KAS alongside three other private operators.

The toll system in Poland is a combination of methods:

• “Accessible” via the e-Toll network facilitated by the On Bord Unit (OBU) system certified by Szef KAS
• “Restricted” on the A1, A2, and A4 networks utilizing videotolling and DSRC technology

How is the toll calculated?

Toll calculation is based on the distance traveled, the vehicle’s weight, and its Euro pollutant class.

Covered net

• A1 (Rusocin – Czerniewice)
• A4 (Katowice – Cracóvia)
• Rede E-Toll

The extensive network, spanning over 6,000 kilometers, is overseen by 25 motorway companies. Within this network, several toll systems are implemented.

• The closed system features barriers at both entry and exit points of the journey. The journey’s cost is proportionate to the distance traveled.
• In the open system, the cost of the journey is a fixed rate, regardless of the distance traveled.
• The Free flow system guarantees toll collection without barriers, allowing vehicles to pass through without obstruction.

How is the amount calculated?

• The number of kilometres travelled
• The vehicle category
• The tariff grid
• The barrier system
• The characteristics of the road

How does VAT work?

The toll network in Italy is subject to a VAT rate of 22%.

How are discounts calculated?

Discounts are determined based on toll transactions conducted throughout the entire calendar year, with eligibility criteria subject to change annually based on decisions made by the Italian state overseeing the discount program.

An additional 10 per cent discount may also apply to night-time transactions on certain networks.

The Consortium

To attain Italy’s toll turnover of 5 million euros, guaranteeing the most favorable discount rate, transport companies have organized themselves into a consortium.

• The weight of the rolling vehicle
• The number of axles on the vehicle, including the trailer
• The vehicle’s EURO class and the possible presence of a particulate filter (CRP/PMK document to be supplied)
