Frequently Asked Questions
Can I dispute toll admin fees?
Yes. If the admin fees are disproportionate to the original toll amount, this is a valid ground for dispute. Offer to pay the original toll and request fee waiver. Many operators have hardship provisions.
What if my toll tag wasn't detected?
If you had a valid, funded toll account but the tag wasn't read at the gantry, this is an equipment issue — not a failure to pay. Provide your account statement showing active status and the operator should match the trip to your account.
What's the difference between a toll notice and a government infringement?
A toll notice is from the operator (Linkt, ConnectEast) with admin fees. If unpaid, it escalates to a government infringement (Revenue NSW, Fines Victoria, SPER) with much higher penalties. It's cheaper to resolve at the toll notice stage.
