Who are exempt from payment?
People with disabilities, as well as parents with disabilities, are exempt from road tax. The exemption applies to one vehicle per family. It should be noted that there is no automatic procedure, so that the fees are zeroed out for those who the system shows that they have the relevant certification from KEPA and are beneficiaries of a disability allowance from OPECA.
Even those who have taken out the relevant card for parking in disabled spaces and exemption from tolls, normally appear in the system as liable to pay traffic fees, if they have not applied themselves, with which they will ask the tax office for their exemption. You can apply for the exemption in person at your local DOU, by post or digitally. The digital application is done on the myAADE portal.

What will change in Traffic Fees 2025
As the fine is considered by many to be unfair – especially if the deadline is missed by a short while, the goal of the financial staff is for the fine from next year to increase incrementally, depending on the time that elapses until it is paid.
One of the issues that is also under consideration is that of removing the immobility of vehicles. As it has been written Naftemporiki.gr what is being studied is to give the owner the possibility, before the vehicle’s circulation period expires, to request to keep the vehicle in circulation by paying the corresponding amount.
It is worth noting that until now if an owner “forgets” to resubmit his vehicle’s plates on the due date, then he is required to pay road tax for the whole year. Also, based on the current framework, the right to temporarily immobilize the vehicle for a certain period of time by paying the corresponding traffic fees is valid only once a year.
