In brief

• The National Revenue Administration (Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa, KAS) has detected stations selling fuel above the maximum prices set by the government.
• According to KAS, on average one in 40 stations in Poland does not comply with the price limits.
• For carriers and fleet companies, this means the risk of higher refueling costs.

Scale of irregularities

Data from the National Revenue Administration (Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa) indicate that exceeding maximum prices concerns a small but noticeable share of the network. According to KAS, on average one in 40 stations in the country sells fuel more expensively than the limits set by the government allow. (Stacje dają ceny wyższe od maksymalnych.

What this means for drivers and companies

Stations that charge prices above the maximum violate the applicable rules on fuel trade. For carriers and fleet companies, this means that when refueling at some locations the bill may be higher than the applicable limit would suggest. It is worth checking the fuel cost in route calculations at a specific station, rather than relying only on prices advertised across the network.

Inspections and next steps

KAS carries out inspections to verify compliance with maximum prices. The results show that the irregularities are not isolated. The material does not provide details on penalties or the timing of further inspections.
