Over 721 thousand fine proceedings in 2025. Tolls give headaches to the tax authority

TVI Notícias6 September 2026 at 13:18

Over 721 thousand fine proceedings were initiated in 2025, related to unpaid tolls. The figure represents an average of 60 thousand proceedings per month throughout last year.

Tolls continue to cause significant problems for the Portuguese tax authority. The high number of proceedings reveals the persistence of violations related to the non-payment of toll fees on national roads.

The tax authority faces a considerable volume of work to process and resolve these cases. The situation demonstrates that many drivers continue to ignore toll payment, generating legal and financial consequences.
