French and Italian excise fee worth the effort?

This could amount to thousands of euros per truck per year, which many companies leave unused.

transport operators have been working with tight margins for years. A small increase in fuel prices or tolls can directly mean the difference between profit and loss. That is precisely why excise duties to be recovered from countries like France and Italy can mean a huge difference.

According to interbranch organisations, SMEs transporters still have money. The administrative thresholds are often: companies do not know that they are entitled to restitution or find the procedure too complicated, a spokesman for a European transport association says. Nevertheless, it pays to take action: a transporter with 10 trucks that consumes 400,000 litres of diesel annually can get up to tens of thousands of euros per year back.

The current diesel excise fees are:

• France: € 0,1571 per litre
• Italy: € 0.22918 per litre For transport operators, retrieving foreign diesel tax no luxury is a concrete way to get the rising costs in the sector to compensate. Do you need support or questions about the possibilities of the French and Italian excise fee? Delta will be happy to help you.
