Road tax offenders to start receiving fines
More than 30,000 motorists who failed to pay their road tax for this year have been traced and will be forced to pay a fine, according to the Finance Ministry’s General Secretariat for Information Systems.
The number of offenders is significantly smaller however than in recent years when more than 100,000 violations were recorded annually.
Over the coming days, the 30,000 or so motorists who failed to pay their road tax this year will be summoned to their local tax offices where they must pay double the rate of their original road tax as a penalty. In the case of cars with engines over 4,000 cc, the fine reaches 2,640 euros.
