- Deadline for due payment of registration fees and fines for overdue payment)
-
The due payment of each year is made from 1.11 to 31.12 of the previous year of the one concerned. In case of overdue payment, non-payment or payment of reduced road tax, a separate fine equal to the road tax is paid.
Foreign residents who have a vehicle in Greece with Greek license plates must pay the road tax, even if the vehicle does not move. In order for road tax not to be due, the owner or registered keeper of the vehicle must:
- declare the immobility to the Tax Administration electronically, through the Single Digital Portal of the Public Administration (gov.gr) before the start of the calendar year. The declaration includes the exact details of the city, street, and number of the vehicle’s immobility point.
- remove from the vehicle its registration number plates and store it in accordance with the provisions of para. 6 of article 45 of Law 2992/2002 (A΄ 54). The vehicle’s license and number plates are not handed over to the Independent Authority for Public Revenue. A motor vehicle, for which a declaration of immobility has been submitted, is absolutely forbidden to circulate for any reason.
- Fines
-
If, in the context of controls, an immobile vehicle is detected either circulating or bearing registration number plates, the road tax and the fine for non-payment thereof, provided for by the written provisions, and an additional administrative fine equal to ten thousand (10,000) euro.
In case of recurrence, the fine of the previous subsection is tripled and, by decision of the legally competent body, the driver’s license of the owner or registered keeper of the vehicle is withdrawn for three (3) years. - Deletion of a vehicle from the Vehicle Registry
-
When an immobile vehicle is to be deleted from the Vehicle Registry of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, due to its handing over for total destruction with recycling at the specially authorized centers or for the purpose of its export, its registration details, license and registration number plates are
- either forwarded by the Tax Office to the competent Department of Infrastructure and Transport of the relevant Region upon request of the owner or registered keeper thereof,
- or delivered by the owner or registered keeper of the vehicle to be deleted, provided that the registration information is in their possession due to the vehicle being immobile electronically.
In both cases, no prior waiver of immobility is required.
In order to delete a vehicle from the Vehicle Registry, due to its export, reexport or transport outside the country, the deletion is only done if the road taxes and fines have been previously paid by its last owner or registered keeper and its export, reexport, or transfer outside the country is confirmed. - How is a vehicle’s immobility waivered?
-
The immobility applies until the vehicle is again “in motion,” as follows:
- by submitting a request to waive the immobility, which is also carried out electronically through the Single Digital Portal of the Public Administration (gov.gr) in the mycar application
- provided that the road tax for the year of removal are paid and
- provided that there is an active insurance policy.
Road tax is paid to the bodies designated each time by a Decision of the Minister of Finance (Banks, ELTA, etc.), by the owner of the vehicle or any third party on behalf of the owner, based on the registration fee form which can be printed from the IAPR website (route: Citizens- Vehicles- Registration fees without TAXISnet codes).
The annual road tax of the private passenger vehicles that have been registered for the first time in a member state of the European Union/EEA and are under the suspensive customs regime of temporary importation, are calculated based on the cylinder capacity of their engine, as defined in the tables of sub-case a (tables of sub-case a. of the guide).
In the same way, the annual registration fees for the private passenger vehicles coming from third countries and subject to the suspensive customs regime of temporary importation is calculated, but in this case, taking as a criterion for classification in the corresponding table the date of placing the vehicle under the temporary importation regime in Greece.
Beneficiary owners of these vehicles, for each month or part of a month beyond the time period during which exemption is provided, are required to pay 1/12 of the annual road tax as defined above.
