Traffic fees: The platform has opened for paying by the month

The platform for monthly traffic tax payments has been opened.

This means that more than 120,000 car owners who had submitted electronic license plates by February 28, 2023, can now put their vehicles back on the market by paying the amount corresponding to the months they wish to drive their vehicle in the current year.

For the first time, the platform is activated just one month after the end of the payment of registration fees, which means that those who rush today or in the following days to remove immobility and had their vehicle in circulation until the end of February, effectively avoid the end of the first two months of 2023.

This is because if someone goes ahead with immobilization today and wishes to use their vehicle for all the remaining months of 2023 they will pay road tax corresponding to 9/12, with the first two months the vehicle was on the road included in the extension that was given by the Ministry of Finance and the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE).

How to remove immobility
Immobilization is done electronically through the myCar platform of AADE (www.aade.gr). With the TAXISnet codes, vehicle owners will enter the platform, select the vehicle that is in digital immobility and pay the tolls for the months they want.

However, the vehicle must have been insured beforehand, which the owner of the vehicle must confirm by pressing the relevant indicator. He should do the same when he pays the road tax due to him. If he has not proceeded with these two mandatory procedures (payment of insurance premiums and corresponding traffic taxes) he cannot proceed with the removal of immobility and put the vehicle back into circulation.

Car owners, before proceeding with the removal of immobility, must, through the AADE myCar platform, choose the months in which they will put the vehicle in motion. Depending on the months, the traffic fees will be calculated and then they will have to pay them by paying the twelfths of the annual traffic fees corresponding to the months of the lift they have chosen.

For the removal of immobility for a period of 1 month, 1/12 of the annual traffic fees corresponding to the vehicle is paid, for the removal of immobility for a period of 2 months, 2/12 of the amount of the annual traffic fees corresponding to the vehicle is paid, for the removal of immobility duration of 3 months, 3/12 of the amount of annual traffic fees corresponding to the vehicle are paid, etc.

An immobility period of less than a month is counted as a whole month and an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual traffic fees is paid for it.

This means that if the owner of an I.X. with annual fees of 630 euros (corresponding to a 2,000 cubic centimeter 15-year-old vehicle), proceed to digitally immobilize his vehicle for a month, for example in April, he will pay fees of 52.5 euros. But if he chooses all the remaining months of the year, he will pay fees corresponding to 9/12 of 630 euros, i.e. 472.5 euros.

The right to remove immobility is granted only once within the year, while when the period of movement for which proportional traffic fees have been paid expires, the vehicle must immediately be digitally immobilized or it will be asked to pay steep fines.

**Interview with John Smith, Tax⁣ Specialist‍ at the Ministry of⁤ Finance**

**Editor:** Good afternoon, John. Thanks ​for joining us today‌ to ⁤discuss the newly opened platform for monthly traffic ⁤tax⁢ payments.

**John Smith:** Good⁢ afternoon! I’m glad ⁤to be here.

**Editor:** ⁢The platform is now open for over 120,000 car owners to reactivate their vehicles. Can you⁤ explain why this measure was implemented?

**John Smith:** Absolutely. The primary goal of this initiative is to provide flexibility for vehicle owners, particularly those who may have been impacted by the immobilization process. By allowing monthly payments, we make it easier for them to get‍ their vehicles back​ on the road without facing a hefty one-time tax burden.

**Editor:** Interesting! I understand that if owners act quickly, they can avoid paying for the first two‍ months. Can you ‍elaborate on how ​that works?

**John Smith:** Sure! If‌ vehicle owners who had their vehicles immobilized until the end of‍ February decide to reactivate them now, they effectively only need to pay the road tax for the ⁤remaining months​ of the year—9 out of 12, to be exact.‌ The first two months are covered under this‌ extension provided by the Ministry.

**Editor:** That sounds beneficial. For those looking to lift their vehicle’s immobilization, how can they proceed?

**John Smith:** ⁣The‍ process⁤ is quite straightforward. ​Vehicle ⁤owners can visit the myCar platform of the⁤ Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE) online. By logging⁣ in with​ their TAXISnet ‍codes, they can ‍select their vehicle and pay the required fees for ⁢the months they⁤ wish to use it. However, it ‌is important ⁤that their vehicle is⁢ insured first—this confirmation must be made during the ⁣process.

**Editor:** Are​ there any common pitfalls owners should be aware of?

**John Smith:** Yes! Ensuring ⁣that insurance is in ⁤place before attempting to lift the immobilization is crucial. ‌Moreover, owners should double-check that‌ all fees are settled to avoid any penalties. The electronic​ process is designed⁢ to be user-friendly, but preparation is‍ key.

**Editor:** Great advice, John. One last question: How do you foresee ⁢this platform impacting car owners long-term?

**John ‌Smith:** I believe this platform not only assists in immediate ⁢flexibility, but it could also encourage ⁤responsible vehicle ownership and usage. By offering monthly payments, we facilitate better budgeting ‌for ‍car owners, which can ultimately⁤ lead to ⁢a healthier vehicle population on our roads.

**Editor:** Thank you, John, for providing such ‍insightful⁤ information today. This​ new initiative certainly seems to offer valuable support to vehicle owners.

**John Smith:** Thank you for having me! I hope this helps clarify⁤ the​ new options available to car owners.
