Traffic fines and other administrative penalties (not tax or social security) do not incur interest or surcharges of any kind.
Fourth Scrappage Period: Who Can Still Avoid Forfeiture?
There are two specific categories that can benefit from this extension: those who have joined the fourth scrapping from the beginning and must pay the ninth installment, and whoever has submitted readmission application by April 30, 2025, and must now pay the first or only installment.
