How the Greek registration tax is calculated
Every rule is in articles 136 and 142 of Law 5222/2025. The base is not the price you paid but the pre-tax price of the same car new in Greece, as the official importer filed it with customs.
The scale
Each band of the pre-tax price is taxed at its own rate. The bands apply to the price before depreciation.
| Pre-tax price | Rate |
|---|---|
| €0 – €14,000 | 4% |
| €14,000 – €17,000 | 26% |
| €17,000 – €20,000 | 53% |
| €20,000 – €25,000 | 62% |
| €25,000 – €30,000 | 71% |
| > €30,000 | 30% |
CO₂ emissions
The rates go down or up with CO₂. For cars first registered in the EU up to 31/12/2020 the NEDC figure counts, from 1/1/2021 the WLTP one.

| 101–120 | 0 |
| 121–140 | +10% |
| 141–160 | +20% |

| 181–200 | +40% |
| 201–250 | +60% |
| > 250 | +100% |
| ≤ 130 | −5% |
| 131–156 | 0 |
| 157–182 | +10% |
| 183–208 | +20% |
| 209–234 | +30% |
| 235–260 | +40% |

| Euro 6a, 5a up to 31/12/2012, and Euro 4 | +200% |
| Euro 1, 2, 3 | cannot be registered |
Age and mileage
The price is reduced for age and body type from an AADE table: a 5-year-old hatchback counts at 61% off, a saloon at 72%. Mileage above 15,000 km a year takes a further 0.1% per 500 km, up to 10%. The total reduction never exceeds 95%.
Hybrids and electric cars
Electric cars pay no tax. Hybrids cleared by 31/12/2026 pay 50% (or 25% at up to 50 g/km). From 1/1/2027 every hybrid pays 50%, whatever its CO₂.
Environmental fee
Euro 4 cars pay an extra €3,000, Euro 5a and 5b €1,000. Euro 1 to 3 cannot be registered.
