Tax Authority hunts those who don't pay tolls: There are 2,000 fines per day

Notícias de Coimbra6 September 2026 at 16:53

The number of processes for unpaid tolls has decreased, but it still represents 30% of the offenses opened by the Tax Authority. Currently, approximately two thousand fines per day are issued related to non-payment of tolls in Portugal.

The Tax Authority is the entity responsible for monitoring and opening administrative offense proceedings related to non-payment of tolls on Portuguese roads. This type of infraction remains one of the main categories of offenses handled by this body.

Although the numbers are still significant, the reduction in the number of processes indicates that some measures implemented to combat non-compliance may be taking effect. However, tolls continue to represent an important share of the total offenses managed by the Tax Authority.

The Government of Mozambique will support 72,000 young people with vocational training scholarships and entrepreneurship initiatives through the "Acredita Emprega" program, presented by President Daniel Chapo in the district of Nicoadala, in Zambezia. From the applications submitted between March and May, 72,000 young people from 78 districts were selected, of which 70% are women. Approximately 14,400 young women will receive a non-reimbursable grant of 100,000 meticais (1,350 euros) to expand their businesses, accompanied by mentorship and specialized training. Zambezia is the province with the most beneficiaries, concentrating 23% of the national total. Chapo emphasized that the program aims to address youth employment challenges, marked by the informal economy and the weak link between training and the labor market, being implemented by the Ministry of Youth in partnership with the World Bank.

Has your car reached 100,000 km? Experts warn that this is what you need to do to avoid future problems

When a car reaches 100,000 kilometers, it is important to perform a complete inspection to avoid future problems, although there is no universal maintenance plan. Bosch Car Service Portugal recommends checking the timing belt (usually replaced between 60 and 100 thousand km), suspension and brakes, fluids and filters, and the battery, whose lifespan depends more on the vehicle's age than on the kilometers driven. The most important thing is to consult the maintenance history and follow the manufacturer's plan, as timely intervention can prevent more expensive repairs.
