Decrease in revenue
The problem that has arisen and decided to be addressed by the leadership of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance by proceeding with road tax interventions is the finding that more and more vehicles, with registration dates following October 31, 2010 and with much lower road taxes are placed in circulation and less and less old ones, with dates of first circulation before October 31, 2010 and much higher fees remain on the roads, with the consequence that the revenues of the State will tend to decrease in the medium term!
That is, the fees for the I.X. cars put into circulation following 31-10-2010 are proportionally lower than the fees for cars, which were put into circulation before 31-10-2010, so the increase in the number of the former and the decrease in the number of of the latter will cause reductions in revenue. On the other hand, however, the leadership of the ministry does not wish in any case to cause a disturbance in the car market. with increases in road tax for new technology cars.
Readjustment
For these reasons, the leadership of the ministry has decided to proceed, with careful steps, in a substantial plan to adjust the road tax paid by 5,423,700 car owners every year, at the same time examining the budgetary possibilities of the Budget to re-incentivize through the withdrawal process, in order to stop cars 15 years old and older from being on the roads and to replace them with new, modern anti-pollution technology.
Therefore, with the aim of studying the situation in the car market. cars and the reformation and updating of the legislative framework of traffic fees, the formulation of opinions regarding regulatory and legislative arrangements, the processing and study of new technological economic, social and environmental developments as well as the terms, conditions and criteria for shaping the cost of traffic fees , the leadership of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance proceeded to set up an eight-member working group. The group’s work is expected to be completed by the autumn, so that its proposals can be taken into account for the formation of a new legislative framework that will come into force in 2025.
Who will pay more?
In any case, the goal is not to reduce the revenue collected by the state budget every year, but also not to cause disturbances in the car market. of cars from increases in charges for new cars. In this context, the non-reduction of fees for very old cars should be taken for granted. cars, with dates of first release in the 1990s and 2000s. The burden of possible fee increases may be borne by owners of these cars, as well as those who acquired cars 9 to 14 years old, i.e. following 31the-10-2010 and until the end of 2015.
In addition, however, it is being considered that the measure of providing incentives to taxpayers for the withdrawal of their old vehicles from circulation and the acquisition of new vehicles should also be included in the equation. cars.
