The invention relates to a tie plate for a rail fastening point (B), which tie plate has a lateral supporting section (9, 19), which has a lateral contact face (14, 24), which bounds a standing face (15) formed on the top side (O) of the tie plate (1) for the foot (SF) of a rail (S) to be placed onto the tie plate (1), wherein a passage opening (28-31) leading from the top side (O) to the bottom side (U) of the supporting section (9, 19) is formed in a border region (10, 20) of the supporting section (9, 19) adjacent to the lateral contact face (14, 24), which passage opening has a basic shape that is angular in cross-section, and wherein the surface (11, 21) of the border region (10, 20) meets the contact face (14, 24) at an upper border edge (13, 23). The lateral face (32) of the passage opening (28-31) associated with the contact face (14, 24) changes into an inclined face (36) at least over a partial range of the height (H) of the lateral face, which inclined face rises in the direction of the upper border edge (13, 23) of the contact face (14, 24) and ends at the surface (11, 21) of the border region (10, 20).
