The conclusion is contained in last year's report and accounts of the company led by Miguel Cruz, when payments in these channels had not yet been completely eliminated, and reported by Jornal de Negócios.

At the end of 2023, IP already warned that the direct loss of potential revenue associated with the application of the 50% discount on the ex-Scut tariff was 107.6 million euros, in accumulated terms. This means that, in just one year and with the increase in discounts to 65%, there was an increase of almost 140% in the loss of revenue, that is, around 150 million euros.

On 1 January of this year, tolls were eliminated in the seven concessions, which, according to the government, means a loss of revenue of €180 million. Therefore, the General and Supervisory Board (CGS) of IP, in its opinion on the 2024 report and accounts, recommends to the State that, “given the relevance of the value”, “a structural solution be found that restores IP's financial balance”. In the document, the company itself states that, “by the end of 2025, a mechanism will be established”, in conjunction with the State, “to ensure compensation for the loss of revenue associated with toll discounts”.
