With a GO-Box, you can pay the prescribed Go-Toll. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mauthohe\">Toll Amount<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>tariff<\/strong> depends on the distance driven, the number of axles, air pollution, noise pollution, and the vehicle&#8217;s emissions. For this, the tariff-relevant characteristics, i.e., the <strong>CO\u2082 emission class<\/strong> and the <strong>EURO emission class<\/strong>, must be proven by <strong>suitable proof documents<\/strong>. There is no proof requirement for <strong>CO\u2082 emission class 1<\/strong> and <strong>EURO emission classes III, II<\/strong> and <strong>I<\/strong>. These are assigned to the highest tariff group anyway.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proofs must be submitted <strong>in advance<\/strong> or <strong>within 30 days<\/strong> from the announcement of a tariff characteristic requiring proof at a GO sales outlet to <strong>ASFINAG<\/strong>. The tariff-relevant characteristics are only considered successfully proven <strong>after successful proof verification and confirmation by ASFINAG<\/strong>. The GO sales outlet does not check proof documents.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Required for proof in any case is:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Registration certificate<\/strong> of the motor vehicle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should the tariff-relevant characteristics not be clearly evident from the registration certificate, additional proof documents are required.

Vehicles up to 3.5 tons <strong>do not require a vignette<\/strong> on the toll-free sections. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A1<\/strong> West Motorway (Walserberg border crossing to Salzburg-Nord), State of Salzburg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A12<\/strong> Inntal Motorway (Kiefersfelden border crossing to Kufstein-S\u00fcd), Tyrol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A14<\/strong> (H\u00f6rbranz border crossing to Hohenems), Vorarlberg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A26<\/strong> (Linz Western Ring Road \u2013 still under construction), Upper Austria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who does not leave the toll-free sections at their end, but continues with a vehicle up to 3.5 tons without a vignette, faces the imposition of a <strong>substitute toll<\/strong> or an <strong>administrative penalty order<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fahrzeuge-uber-3-5-tonnen-auf-den-mautfreien-streckenabschnitten\">Vehicles over 3.5 Tons on Toll-Free Road Sections<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ATTENTION:<\/strong> The toll exemption <strong>does not apply to vehicles over 3.5 tons<\/strong>. These vehicles are also obliged to carry and activate the Go-Box on these sections. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who drives on the toll-free sections with a vehicle over 3.5 tons without an activated Go-Box also faces the imposition of a <strong>substitute toll<\/strong> or an <strong>administrative penalty order<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-besondere-streckenmaut\">Special Route Toll<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The special route toll is payable on six sections of the Austrian motorway instead of the normal motorway toll. The reason for the special route toll lies in the particularly high construction costs of the large motorway tunnels and bridges on these routes: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 13 Brenner Motorway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 10 Tauern Motorway (Tauern Tunnel \u2013 Katschberg Tunnel)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>S 16 Arlberg Expressway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 11 Karawanken Motorway Southbound<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 9 Pyhrn Motorway Bosruck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 9 Pyhrn Motorway Gleinalm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sections with special route tolls invariably have <strong>toll stations with barriers<\/strong>. The costs vary per section. There are three options each: <strong>1 trip, 2 trips, 365 days<\/strong>. Payment via the <strong>Go-Box<\/strong> also works there.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast to normal motorways, which can also be used accidentally without correct toll payment, there are therefore <strong>no legal problems<\/strong> on routes with special route tolls.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andere-mautpflichtige-strassenabschnitte\">Other Toll-Required Road Sections<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the toll-required motorways and expressways, there are other toll-required routes in Austria. These are mostly <strong>alpine excursion destinations<\/strong>. Here too, there are usually toll stations with barriers, and therefore no legal problems.  <\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kontrolle-der-maut\">Toll Enforcement<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vignette requirement is controlled both electronically and by toll enforcement officers, who are authorized to request vehicles to stop.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strafbarkeit-des-mautprellens\">Punishability of Toll Evasion<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of the toll-required road network with toll-required motor vehicles without a valid vignette is prohibited. Motor vehicle drivers who violate this prohibition commit an administrative offense according to \u00a7 20 Para 1 BStMG and will be punished by the district administrative authority with a <strong>fine<\/strong> of <strong>\u20ac300.00<\/strong> to <strong>\u20ac3,000.00<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a penalty will not be imposed if a substitute toll is paid in time instead.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ersatzmaut\">Substitute Toll<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request for payment of the substitute toll can be made personally by a toll enforcement officer, by depositing a written request on the vehicle, or by sending the request by mail.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-haufige-grunde-fur-die-verhangung-der-ersatzmaut\">Common Reasons for Imposing the Substitute Toll<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many reasons for demanding a substitute toll or imposing an administrative penalty.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digitale-vignette\">Digital Vignette<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Typo when entering the official license plate of the digital vignette<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect country code when entering the digital vignette<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forgot to wait for the 18-day withdrawal period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure to change the license plate of a digital vignette when changing residence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-klebe-vignette\">Sticker Vignette<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New annual vignette purchased too late<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vignette purchased later<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect period of use or incorrectly perforated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect attachment of the sticker vignette<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-box-0\">Go-Box<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Incorrect data entry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tariff-related emission class not proven within 28 calendar days by resubmitting the registration certificate (urgent reporting deadline)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driving on toll-free sections for vehicles up to 3.5 t with a vehicle over 3.5 t without activating the Go-Box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sonstige-grunde\">Other Reasons<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leaving toll-free sections with a vehicle up to 3.5 tons on the A14, A12, A14, A26 too late <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toll requirement overlooked<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No substitute toll request received from ASFINAG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typo in the payment instruction for the substitute toll request<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hohe-der-ersatzmaut-2024\">Amount of the Substitute Toll 2024<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of the substitute toll differs for cars and motorcycles.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column mr-column-lightgrey\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ersatzmaut-auto-2024\">Substitute Toll Car 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list icon\">\n<li>Substitute Toll: <strong>\u20ac120.00<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column mr-column-lightgrey\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ersatzmaut-motorrad-2024\">Substitute Toll Motorcycle 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-ccedcdec-40f6-4dd4-9064-5f2f97a1ed2e\" class=\"wp-block-list icon\">\n<li>Substitute Toll: <strong>\u20ac65.00<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a sticker vignette is manipulated by chemical or technical methods in such a way that it can be removed without self-destruction and multiple use cannot be ruled out, the substitute toll is double the amount.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ersatzmaut-fur-fahrzeuge-uber-3-5-tonnen-2024\">Substitute Toll for Vehicles over 3.5 Tons 2024<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of the substitute toll depends on the reason for the complaint and is, for example,<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>240 Euros if the tariff characteristics requiring proof were not proven in due time and order;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>240 Euros if the toll was not paid (e.g., insufficient Pre-Pay credit, missing debits due to incorrectly attached GO-Box);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>120 Euros if the toll was only partially paid (e.g., too few axles set);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>120 Euros if the vehicle license plate or the carried GO-Box does not match the data stored in the system (vehicle declaration).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aufforderung-durch-mautaufsichtsorgane\">Request by Toll Enforcement Officers<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toll enforcement officers are authorized to verbally request the motor vehicle driver to pay the substitute toll. The substitute toll must be paid immediately upon request by the toll enforcement officer in cash or by other permissible payment methods or means. A confirmation will be issued to the motor vehicle driver for this.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dienstliche-wahrnehmung-bei-abwesenheit-des-lenkers\">Official Observation in the Driver&#8217;s Absence<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a violation is observed by toll enforcement officers while the driver is not with their vehicle, for example, because they are at a rest stop and not with the motor vehicle, a written request for payment of the substitute toll can be left on the motor vehicle.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The written request contains, among other things, an identification number, which is stated as the purpose of use, and the bank details, in addition to the amount of the substitute toll to be paid. The substitute toll must be transferred to the account specified in the payment request, stating the identification number provided in the request as the purpose of use. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request for payment of the substitute toll will be complied with if it is credited to the specified account within two weeks of deposit and the transfer order contains the automation-supported readable, complete, and correct identification number, which is stated as the purpose of use.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aufforderungsverfahren-im-nachhinein\">Subsequent Request Procedure<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the improper payment of the toll is detected by automatic vignette control without the motor vehicle driver being apprehended, a written request for payment of the substitute toll can be sent to the vehicle owner. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cross-border procedures, the request for payment of the substitute toll is made in the form of an information letter on ASFINAG letterhead. The written request contains, among other things, an identification number, which is stated as the purpose of use, and the bank details, in addition to the amount of the substitute toll to be paid. The substitute toll must be transferred to the account specified in the payment request or information letter, stating the identification number provided in the request as the purpose of use.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request for payment of the substitute toll will be complied with if it is credited to the specified account within four weeks from the issuance of the request or the information letter and the transfer order contains the automation-supported readable, complete, and correct identification number, which is stated as the purpose of use.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-verlust-der-aufforderung-zur-bezahlung-der-ersatzmaut\">Loss of the Request for Payment of the Substitute Toll<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the request for payment of the substitute toll is lost, either when left on the vehicle or sent by mail, no claims arise for the vehicle driver or the vehicle owner.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the substitute toll is not paid in time for any reason, criminal proceedings will be initiated.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-art-der-bezahlung\">Method of Payment<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The substitute toll cannot be paid <strong>in installments<\/strong>. Should partial payments be received, they will be refunded minus a processing fee of \u20ac15.00 (including 20% VAT). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also applies to <strong>late payments<\/strong> after a report has been filed with the competent district administrative authority, <strong>payments without specifying the correct identification number<\/strong>, which is stated as the purpose of payment, and <strong>payments to an account other than<\/strong> the account indicated on the copy of the request for payment of a substitute toll or an information letter. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of <strong>overpayments<\/strong> up to and including EUR 5.00, no refund will be made (otherwise in full).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A properly paid substitute toll cannot be reclaimed.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unterbleiben-der-bestrafung\">Non-imposition of Penalty<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A penalty will only be waived if the substitute toll has been paid on time and in the rare cases in which the driver is genuinely not at fault for the incorrect payment.<\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strafverfugung\">Penalty Order<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event of non-payment or late payment, a penalty order will be issued.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of the penalty can be legally between \u20ac300.00 and \u20ac3000.00. In practice, the amount of the penalty is usually between \u20ac<strong>300.00 EUR<\/strong> and \u20ac<strong>350.00<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rechtsmittel\">Legal Remedies<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appeals are possible against the substitute toll claim and against the penalty order. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, an appeal against the substitute toll or the penalty order only makes sense in the event of clearly demonstrable errors on the part of ASFINAG, i.e. if you have done everything correctly and paid on time, or if you have legal expenses insurance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otherwise, for cost reasons, we advise paying the substitute toll or the administrative penalty, because the lawyer&#8217;s fees are higher than the substitute toll or the penalty. Without legal expenses insurance, the risk of the matter becoming even more expensive is simply too great. <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/sebastian-riedlmair\/\" title=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/sr100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Sebastian Riedlmair<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Attorneys<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eBei Vorliegen einer Rechtsschutzversicherung kann ein Rechtsmittel in vielen F\u00e4llen ratsame sein.
