Ligurian Haulier’s Relief for 2023

Published on 08.08.2024, by Milena Szczesna

Are you a haulier who operated in the Liguria region in 2023? You might be eligible for a toll refund. Learn more about the refund process, eligibility criteria, and deadlines in our Q&A.

1. Who are the beneficiaries of the relief?

Eligible for the lump sum refund are companies registered in the National Register of Freight Forwarders for Third Parties (formerly Article 40 of Law 298/1974) or in the European Community’s Regulation (EC) 1071/2009 and 1072/2009. These companies must have carried out transport missions during the reference years of the Memorandum of Understanding, passing through toll booths on the ASPI highway network (A10, A26, A12, A7) in the Ligurian region.

Companies no longer registered in the business registry and consequently lacking a valid tax position at the time of benefit disbursement will not be entitled to the lump sum refund.

2. Application process and required documents?

Refund applications can be submitted by the individual company or through an authorized representative operating on behalf of the delegating transport company. The submission involves uploading specific forms on the web portal containing:

  • Vehicle and toll device details
  • List of missions and references to documentation verifying mission information (Origin/Destination) and the actual completion of the mission

Note: Travel missions need to be declared, not just highway transits, as the system will automatically match them.

If a mission listed in the form was carried out without the use of a toll device, the operator must attach documentation confirming the payment of the toll.

3. Application Access Procedure?

Access to the application is through the Road Trasport – Autostrade per l’Italia, following registration by the legal representative.

4. I am an Italian company, how do I register?

6. What are the highway toll booths eligible for reimbursement?

The toll booths eligible for reimbursement are those with entry/exit points at the following locations:

  • A10 (Savona – Albisola – Celle Ligure – Varazze- Arenzano – Genova Prà – Genova Pegli – Genova Aeroporto)
  • A26 (Masone)
  • A7 (Genova Ovest – Isola del Cantone – Ronco Scrivia – Busalla – Genova Bolzaneto)
  • A12 (Sestri Levante – Lavagna – Chiavari – Rapallo – Recco – Genova Nervi – Genova Est)

Missions that pass through toll booths on A10, A26, A7, and A12 with entry/exit points different from those mentioned above are not eligible for reimbursement.

7. What types of travel missions are eligible for reimbursement?

  • Transport missions of goods, whether with or without a toll device, are eligible for reimbursement, including those carried out with exceptional vehicles.
  • Travel missions without the transportation of goods (empty) are NOT eligible for the lump sum refund. Valid cases include the transport of empty containers and, for missions related to “boarding/disembarking from a ship,” those involving empty mobile boxes or semi-trailers.
  • A travel mission with multiple entries and exits is entitled to ONLY ONE lump sum reimbursement and should be entered only once.

8. Where can I find the templates to fill out?

In the “My Files” folder of the useful documents section, visible after logging into the platform.

9. Where do I need to upload the documents attesting the travel mission?

You only need to upload the references to the documents within the Excel form. The physical documents must be kept by the applicant and provided if requested by the relevant control authorities (e.g., agenzia dell’entrate).

10. What data should be included in the documents attesting the mission?

  • Origin and destination of the journey
  • Type of transported goods
  • Vehicle or semi-trailer license plate
  • Document issuance date

11. Where do I find the mission execution date?

  • Corresponds to the date of loading/unloading of goods
  • Can be found in various types of documents; not necessarily the same as those attesting the mission

12. What is the difference between the documents attesting the mission and those certifying its execution?

They are the same in cases where a single document contains all the necessary data: origin and destination of the journey, type of transported goods, start and end date of transport, vehicle or semi-trailer license plate, date of loading/unloading of goods.

13. How do I retrieve the device number (PanNumber)?

By reading the toll transit debit invoice; if the device provider is Telepass, it is a number ranging from 6 to 10 digits, otherwise, it is an alphanumeric code of 19 characters

14. Which authorization number for exceptional transports should I enter?

It is a number composed of: 2 letters, 1 or more numbers, a final suffix (S for single authorization, M for multiple authorization, or PS for periodic authorization)

15. How can I sign and submit the self-certification document?

Once created, the self-certification document must be downloaded, reviewed, and digitally signed by the legal representative.

If the verification yields a positive outcome, the request will transition to a signed state. If the verification yields a negative outcome, it is necessary to check:

  • The validity of the digital signature
  • The VAT number and/or tax code of the company uploaded into the system
  • The tax code of the legal representative uploaded into the system in the “contacts” section
  • The registration number in the hauliers’ register or the number of the community license

Any corrections must be certified by third-party systems; before reloading the signed document, it is necessary to wait 2/3 days.

Note:

Before proceeding with the signing of the self-certification, it is necessary to close the request using the appropriate button.

After closure, the request will no longer be editable.

Any self-certification documents created before closure are to be considered provisional; they must be deleted and recreated before proceeding with the signing.

If digital signing is not possible, you can manually sign the document and send it via PEC to the address Rimborsi-liguri@pec.autostrade.it.

An ASPI operator will verify it and communicate any anomalies. In the case of a positive verification, the document will be uploaded into the system, and the request will assume the “signed” status.

Only documents from requests in the “closed” state (not in the “in progress” state) can be accepted.
