Tolls could rise for motorists

Motorists could be facing increased toll charges for using the M50 Westlink crossing and Dublin Port Tunnel as a result of a ruling from the EU’s top court this week.

Tolls could rise for motorists

The European Court of Justice will issue a judgement on Thursday in a case which may see Vat on State-owned tolls being passed on to motorists.

Such a decision could see the cost of using the M50 and Dublin Port Tunnel increase by up to 23% for road users if they have to pay VAT on such tolls. For motorists using the Dublin Port Tunnel at peak time, it could mean paying an extra €2.30 on the existing €10 toll. The other rate of €3 would increase by 69 cent.
