The Motorway Toll
The motorway toll is determined by the sum of the kilometres for each journey and the related tariff.
The surcharges and taxes provided for by current regulations are then added.
In addition, the different vehicle classes as well as the type of motorway network, i.e. level or mountainous, influence the changes in unit tariffs.
The classification of vehicles, defined by “axle-shape”, follows general criteria applied throughout the Italian motorway network.
Vehicles are divided into five tariff classes: A-B-3-4-5.
The Concessionaire’s kilometre unit rates are periodically revised on the basis of the price-cap formula, which takes into account both the planned inflation rate and productivity and quality indicators.
TOLL CALCULATION AND PAYMENT METHODS
The toll is the amount the user has to pay for using the motorway. It is calculated by multiplying the Concessionaire’s unit tariff (€/km), increased by the amount chosen by ANAS, by the number of kilometres travelled, including the kilometres of junctions, slip roads and free motorway stretches before and after the tollbooth, built and managed by the Concessionaire; the amount obtained, increased by VAT, is rounded to the nearest 10 euro cents as governed by Interministerial Decree no. 10440/28/133 of 12/11/2001 of the Italian Ministry for Infrastructure and Transport and the Italian Ministry for Economy and Finance.
The unit tariff is commensurate with the characteristics of the motorway stretches (level or mountainous) and vehicle class (see Table) and is adjusted annually, by Decree of the Italian Ministry for Infrastructure and Transport in agreement with the Italian Ministry for Economy and Finance and on the basis of what is established in the Single Convention with MIT-SVCA, using a formula that takes into account 70% of the real inflation rate (NIC index) of the last 12 months (1 July-30 June) and the parameter relating to the return on new investments made.
UKRAINE HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY
As per Ordinance no. 876 of 13 March 2022 of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Civil Protection Department, exemption of the toll has been arranged for Ukrainian citizens arriving from Ukraine and persons coming from Ukraine, who enter Italy as a consequence of the current events.
The aforementioned exemption will be valid for up to 5 days from entry into Italian territory by those entitled to it.
At the time of transit out of the stations of the undersigned Company, giving preference to manual toll lanes, a duly completed and signed self-certification must be handed over to the collector; the relevant form (in Italian and English) can be downloaded by selecting the corresponding icons below.
In automatic toll lanes controlled by a remote monitoring operator, the user must collect the transit certificate and send it together with the self-certification to the e-mail address emergenzaucraina@autoviapadana.it.

FAILURE TO PAY THE TOLL
During payment operations, some inconveniences may occur that disrupt the normal collection procedure.
If the problem occurs at a gate operated by the collector, he will be able to indicate the best solution.
If, on the other hand, the problem should occur at an automatic or electronic toll gate, it is recommended not to get out of the vehicle and not to back out of the track, but to press the ‘request for intervention’ button, communicating with the personnel in charge via the intercom and providing the information on the receipt issued by the appropriate outlet.
Specifically, the indication ‘Entry: Not Detected’ indicates that the entry ticket has not been presented: in this case, the toll is calculated by law (Art. 176/16 C.d.S.) from the farthest toll station.
The Customer is, however, entitled to produce proof of the actual toll booth of entry. Autovia Padana S.p.A. may accept the Customer’s self-certification (pursuant to Presidential Decree 445/2000) of the entry toll booth and carry out subsequent checks on the truthfulness of the declaration.

Toll billing
The transit certificate represents the receipt of payment, but is not valid for tax purposes. It is however an essential document for issuing an Invoice, provided it is forwarded in original (Ministerial Decree of Finance 20/07/79) to the Concessionary Company.
If the toll has not been paid or has been paid only partially, the certificate issued on the automatic track will constitute a Report of Non-Payment of Toll, and can only be invoiced once the payment has been regularised.
