Satellite surveillance coming to trucking industry

Satellite monitoring of transport trucks carrying fuel, alcohol and tobacco could save Poland PLN 50 billion in lost revenues, according to a PwC report on Monday in Gazeta Wyborcza. The report also stated that the government’s intention was to save PLN 100 billion over the next 10 years in lost revenue due to traders who do not pay VAT. The report mentioned that the EU estimates the treasury receives less than 27 percent of potential revenues.
