Transport tax is a local tax that is applied in Poland and applies to owners of certain vehicles. It is a fee that must be paid by owners of vehicles registered in Poland and subject to this tax obligation.

Who is required to pay tax?

Transport tax applies to owners of the following vehicles:
  • Trucks with a permitted gross weight of over 3.5 tons.
  • Tractor and ballast trucks designed for use with a trailer or semi-trailer with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 3.5 tons.
  • Trailers and semi-trailers whose permitted total mass together with the vehicle exceeds 7 tons.
  • Buses.
Transport tax rates are set by municipal councils and may vary depending on the location. The basis for determining the tax amount are the provisions of the Law, which specify the maximum and minimum rates for individual categories of vehicles.

Payment terms:

The vehicle tax is paid in two parts:
  • payment before February 15.
  • payment on September 15th.
If the tax does not exceed 100 zlotys, the entire amount must be paid by 15 February.

Tax returns:

Taxpayers are required to submit a DT1 tax return to the voivodeship office where the vehicle is registered. The return must be submitted by 15 February of each tax year or within 14 days of the occurrence of circumstances giving rise to the tax liability (e.g. purchase of a vehicle).

Exceptions and concessions:

In some cases, it is possible to obtain a tax exemption or a reduction in the tax rate, for example for vehicles used to transport disabled people or special vehicles.

Consequences of non-payment:

Failure to pay the tax within the prescribed period may result in interest being charged for late payment and the initiation of enforcement proceedings by the commune administration.

In summary, the transport tax is an important obligation for owners of certain vehicles, and neglecting it can lead to serious financial consequences. It is worth regularly checking the current rates in your voivodeship and making payments on time.
