Farmers and cooperatives may receive exemption from road tolls

From July 10 to September 30, farmers who are included in the RSS payment recipient database and whose income from agricultural production in the last submitted company annual report (this year, 2017 data is taken into account) is at least EUR 5,000 are exempt from road use fees.

For the first vehicle, the exemption from the fee applies if the taxpayer's income from agricultural production is at least 5,000 euros, and for each subsequent vehicle, the exemption from the fee applies for every 70,000 euros in income from agricultural production.

Cooperatives can also receive an exemption. It is granted if the cooperative society meets the eligibility criteria set out in the regulatory enactments for the agricultural sector and complies with the conditions.

If a cooperative owns, holds or possesses one vehicle, the exemption from the fee shall apply regardless of the cooperative's net turnover in the last annual report submitted by the company. If it owns, holds or possesses several vehicles, the exemption from the fee shall apply for one vehicle for every 99,600 euros of the cooperative's net turnover in the last annual report submitted by it.

Exemption from paying the road toll can be obtained using the electronic services system maintained by the CSDD. It should be noted that in the CSDD e-services system it is necessary to indicate a toll payment of 0 euros.
