For heavy vehicles, the inspection fee will rise from the current 38.69 euros (excluding VAT) to 41.60 euros as of 1 January.

The increase in tariffs next year is due to the inflation rate, states the Mobility and Transport Institute (IMT) in the decision published in Diário da República, in which it claims to have taken into account the latest update of the Consumer Price Index, carried out in mid-December and referring to November, resulting in an average annual rate of change (excluding housing) of 7.53%.

"It is necessary to calculate the impact of this index on the tariffs in force, in order to standardise the amounts payable in all Vehicle Technical Inspection Centers (CITVs)", reads the diploma signed by the Board of Directors of the IMT.
