Registration tax

Know the registration tax before the car arrives.

An indicative estimate for a passenger car you are bringing to Greece, worked out the way the legislation sets it: retail price, age, mileage, body type, Euro standard and CO2 emissions.

The car
Condition
Powertrain

Hybrids pay half of the tax; those up to 50 g/km pay a quarter until 31/12/2026. Electric and hydrogen cars are exempt.

The body code (e.g. AB, AF) is on the certificate of conformity (COC).

The car's price when it was new, without taxes, and not what you are paying for it now.

How do I find it?
  • It is the price of an identical new car: same make, model and version (engine, gearbox), with the same equipment.
  • It comes from the price list of the brand's official importer in Greece, for the period when the car was first registered. You can ask a dealer of the brand for it.
  • Optional equipment is added to the price of the version. For example, €20,000 for the version and €2,500 of options make €22,500.
  • It excludes VAT and registration tax, so it is lower than the final selling price at the time.
  • If you cannot find it, or the version was not sold in Greece, enter an estimate to see the order of magnitude. We can find the exact price: send us the chassis number (VIN) or the listing.
Age and mileage
First registration

Month and year, from field B of the registration certificate.

As shown on the odometer.

The age is counted in months up to this date.

Emissions
Emission standard

Shown on the registration certificate (field V.9) or the COC. Used Euro 1, 2 and 3 cars cannot be registered in Greece.

Field V.7 of the registration certificate. For a first registration up to 31/12/2020 the NEDC value counts, from 1/1/2021 the WLTP value.

How it is calculated

From the retail price to the tax.

  1. 01

    Taxable value

    The model's retail price before taxes is reduced according to the car's age in months and its body type, and further when the mileage is above 1,250 km a month (by up to 10%). It never falls below 5% of the retail price.

  2. 02

    Progressive scale

    A progressive scale applies to the retail price: 4% up to €14,000, 26% up to €17,000, 53% up to €20,000, 62% up to €25,000, 71% up to €30,000 and 30% above €30,000.

  3. 03

    Euro and CO2

    The rate rises for older Euro standards (up to ×3 for Euro 4) and is adjusted for CO2 emissions (from ×0.95 to ×2), on NEDC or WLTP values depending on the date of first registration.

  4. 04

    The tax

    The final rate applies to the taxable value. Hybrids pay part of the tax and electric cars are exempt, while used Euro 4 and Euro 5 imports also pay a one-off environmental fee.
