INFORMATION ON TOLLS IN ITALY

The privatised network covering over 6,000 km is managed by 25 motorway operating companies. There are several toll systems:

  • The closed system: barriers at the beginning and end of the journey. The cost of the journey is proportional to the distance travelled.
  • The open system: the cost of the journey is a fixed sum, regardless of the distance travelled.
  • The free-flow system: the toll is collected without barriers.

HOW IS THE AMOUNT CALCULATED?

Payment by OBU is mandatory on the Italian network. The amount is calculated based on five criteria:

  • Number of kilometres travelled.
  • Vehicle category.
  • Price schedule.
  • Barrier system.
  • Road characteristics.

HOW DOES VAT WORK?

The Italian toll network is subject to VAT at 22%.

HOW ARE DISCOUNTS CALCULATED?

Discounts are calculated on the basis of the toll transactions within a full calendar year. The criteria for application vary from one year to another depending on decisions by the Italian state, which manages the discount programme.

An additional 10% discount for night-time transactions also applies on certain networks.

THE CONSORZIOS

To achieve the Italian toll revenue of €5 million, and become eligible for the higher level of discounts, transport companies have organised themselves into Consorzios.
