The EU court stood up today and had a judgement affecting the German trucking toll 'rules'. This was laid out in a decent news report via ARD.
Germany has a particular tax set up for truckers. It's supposed to cover (in their mind)....infrastructure cost and police/security cost.
Well....the EU court said infrastructure cost is not a problem, but you can't hand such a bill (tax) over for police and security.
So, there's tons of money there from years and years....which was illegally collected, from the trucking organizations.
For this one Polish company that started this court case...12,500 Euro of the tax will be refunded.
