Five more days for road transport companies to request reimbursements against the recent fuel price surge. The Ministry of Transport has extended the deadline for the online platform, where applications for tax credits are submitted, until 11:59 PM on September 20. This extension comes after pressure from various associations, including the accountants’ association (Anc) just a few days ago.

The latest intervention in the Council of Ministers
The intervention was expected also because, in the meantime, the Government has acted again to extend the benefits. In the last Council of Ministers, in fact, September was included among the “reimbursable” months and an additional 16 million was added, bringing the total to 413.6 million.
How the applications work
The rules, however, remain the same. Road transport and freight companies with Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles can obtain up to 70% of the increased expenditure on diesel (compared to February price lists). To apply, it is necessary to be registered in the National Electronic Register of Road Transport, with an active status as of July 31, and to access the platform with the SPID or CIE of the owner or legal representative.
The application consists of a few steps: selecting the license plates of eligible vehicles, declaring the liters of diesel purchased month by month, and uploading an Excel file detailing the invoices, distinguishing the total net amount from the amount related only to reimbursable fuel. The ministry, however, reserves the right to conduct random checks after disbursement, with the possibility of revoking amounts in case of irregularities.
The credit to be used by the end of the year
The credit obtained can be used for compensation via F24 by December 31, 2026, available from the tenth day after data communication to the Revenue Agency, and does not contribute to the formation of business income. It will therefore be a race against time for beneficiary companies who, beyond withholding payments, contributions, and VAT, will have to play the credit card in compensation especially for the appointment with the second income tax advance for 2026 due on November 30.
