Denmark levies a fee for heavy goods vehicles ≥ 12 t on motorways and expressways. The toll obligation is fulfilled by booking an electronic Eurovignette.
Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have agreed a method of toll collection that enables a road use permit purchased in one country to be valid and used in the other countries for the selected period.
In addition to the toll for heavy goods traffic, Denmark levies tolls for sections of road and traffic structures such as the Great Belt Fixed Link and the Øresund Bridge to Sweden. Charges for these bridges are not included in the Eurovignette.
The toll system in Denmark
How are tolls collected?
An electronic, open system
You can use any toll road by booking an electronic Eurovignette.
Important change to the annual vignette for Denmark:
From 1 January 2025, Denmark will switch from the Eurovignette to a kilometre-based HGV toll. A Eurovignette will therefore no longer be required in Denmark after 31 December 2024. More information can be found under Road Pricing (vejafgifter.dk). The Eurovignette remains valid in the member states of Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden.
Criteria for calculating the fee
number of axles, emissions class and period of validity.
Further information can be found on our Eurovignette page:
Controls
Whether or not a Eurovignette is logged in the system for a particular vehicle is checked by mobile cameras and mobile inspectors.
In the event of a violation, a penalty notice is issued. In the event of a physical check, a fine can be imposed on the spot for foreign HGVs.
Traffic structures
Tolls are collected separately for travel infrastructure such as bridges:

Tax refunds in Denmark
We'll provide you with information about potential tax advantages.
Business owners can get VAT collected on Danish tolls refunded. Unlike the HGV toll, bridge charges are subject to VAT. The VAT rate is 25%. It is refundable. If your drivers have paid for truck parking, those charges might be eligible for a tax refund, too.
Through a power of attorney, our service provider partner can organise reimbursements for taxable or reimbursable items, potentially saving you time dealing with the Danish authorities. You don't need to do anything and can simply await a credit note!
