Information on German road tax
In Germany, the government has levied a road tax for a number of federal roads. This means that all transports to and from Germany are charged with this tax.
GLS Denmark passes on this tax for parcels transported via Germany. The current amount of tax is DKK 2,03 per parcel and will be invoiced separately in invoices.
