Checking the correctness of paying motorway toll
Control of the correctness of payment of the toll for using a motorway is carried out pursuant to the provisions of the Act of 27 October 1994 on toll motorways and the National Road Fund.
Officers of the Customs and Tax Service and inspectors of the Road Transport Inspection are authorized to control the correctness of paying the toll for using motorways, including the control of mobile devices, on-board devices or external location systems using satellite positioning and data transmission technologies.
Police officers may control the correctness of paying the toll for using motorways, including the control of mobile devices, on-board devices, or external location systems, when performing their statutory tasks.
For no payment for using motorways, including for the continuation of travel on a motorway or its section after the expiry date and time of the validity period indicated on the motorway ticket, an additional amount of PLN 500 is charged from the person paying the toll. The request for payment concerning the additional amount is issued by the Head of the National Revenue Administration. If the additional amount is paid within 7 days from the date of delivery of the request for payment, it is reduced by PLN 100 from the amount indicated in the request.
The person paying is charged one additional amount, regardless of the number of travels made on the motorway or its section, with the same vehicle, for one day, understood as the period from 00:00 to 24:00 on a given day.
If it is found during an inspection carried out by officers of the Customs and Tax Service, inspectors of the Road Transport Inspection or Police officers that the person paying the amount:
- has not paid the toll for previous travels on a motorway or its section, an
- resides or is seated in a country with which Poland is not bound by an agreement or resolution on cooperation in the mutual recovery of the amount, or the possibility of debt enforcement does not arise directly from international regulations and the provisions of that country,
the person carrying out the control collects a deposit in the amount of the additional payment for each of the travels.
The additional amount is not charged if the vehicle driver has been fined by a fine for traveling on a toll motorway or its section without a valid motorway ticket or without a properly functioning on-board device, mobile application or external location system ensuring the transmission of geolocation data to the e-TOLL system.
The person paying has the right to raise an objection to the Head of KAS in the event of an additional amount being imposed. The lodging of an objection does not release from the obligation to pay the additional amount.
