Compulsory annual road use tax

All car owners will have to pay by January 1 an annual public road tax, the amount of which will depend on the vehicle category, the vehicle weight and its pollution emissions.

The amount of the tax to pay for each vehicle category increases depending on the pollution emission degree of the vehicles, as they have been established for Europe.

The fines for not paying the road tax will range from 3 million ROL (76 euros) to 4.5 million ROL (115 euros) for car owners, from 15 million ROL (384 euros) to 25 million ROL (641 euros) for vans, from 30 million ROL (769 euros) to 45 million ROL (1153 euros) for coaches and from 10 million ROL (256 euros) to 70 million ROL (1794 euros) for merchandise transporters.

Currently, cars, vans, buses, coaches and merchandise transporters of less than 3.5 tons are currently exempted from this tax. The annual road tax can be paid at post offices, in Petrom gas stations and special stations along the national roads.
