Congestion tax are levied by cameras automatically reading registration plates on vehicles. This is usually correct, but sometimes the cameras read incorrectly, for example due to dirt or snow on a registration plate. Contact us if you have received an incorrect decision on congestion tax. The congestion tax will be removed when it becomes clear that it is not your vehicle in the photo.

As a vehicle owner, you must pay congestion tax even when someone else has driven your vehicle through a pay station.

The exemption applies as long as your parking permit is valid so when you get a new parking permit, you must reapply for exemption from congestion tax.

Contact us if you want your exemption to apply to your new vehicle. The exemption for your new vehicle is valid from the date your notice is received by the Swedish Tax Agency. If you would like the exemption to apply from a later date, for example when you are registered as the owner of a new vehicle, specify that date.

• I wish to apply for exemption from congestion tax

A parking permit alone does not automatically grant exemption from congestion charges. You must first apply for your exemption so you have to pay for the congestion tax that you incurred before the exemption began to apply.

Apply by filling in a form at skatteverket.se.

If you do not use the form, send a letter to the Swedish Tax Agency, Congestion Tax, SE-871 87 Härnösand, Sweden.
Regardless of how you apply, the application must contain information on:

• Vehicle registration number
• The country in which the vehicle is registered
• The reference number on the payment slip
• The month to which the decision relates
• Your name and address
• An explanation as to why you cannot pay on time.
