Poland: KAS issues 500 PLN fines for unpaid highway tolls

The National Revenue Administration (KAS) in Poland is issuing payment demands of 500 PLN to drivers who failed to pay for trips made on the A2 and A4 motorways prior to July 1, 2023. While passenger car tolls on specific sections, such as the A2 between Konin and Stryków and the A4 between Wrocław and Sośnica, were abolished on that date, previous violations remain subject to settlement.

KAS reports that nearly 500,000 suspected violations of the payment obligation have been referred to the Director of the Tax Administration Chamber in Łódź. In 2025 alone, 85,246 such notices were sent. Drivers have 14 days to pay the additional fee, though paying within the first seven days allows for a 100 PLN reduction, bringing the total to 400 PLN.

Authorities note that the removal of physical barriers on December 1, 2021, did not make the roads free, as drivers were still required to pay via the e-TOLL system or highway tickets. The verification and processing of these cases will continue until they are resolved or reach the statute of limitations, with the first expirations expected around December 1, 2026.
