How it’s calculated
- Taxable value = pre-tax retail price of the equivalent new car, less the depreciation % for age and body type (Gov. Gazette B 4618/2017), less 0.10% per 500 km above 15,000 km/year (max 10%). Total reduction is capped at 95%.
- Rate: progressive scale of 4% / 26% / 53% / 62% / 71% / 30% above €14,000, €17,000, €20,000, €25,000 and €30,000. For used cars it is chosen on the pre-depreciation value, so we apply the scale’s average rate.
- CO2 adjustment (−5% to +100%) and a surcharge for older Euro classes (+50%, +100%, +200%). Hybrids: −50%. Electric cars are exempt.
- Euro 4: +€3,000 and Euro 5a/5b: +€1,000 environmental fee (Law 4710/2020). Euro 3 and older cannot be registered (except historic cars over 30 years old).

FAQ
Do I pay VAT on a used car from the EU?
No, if it counts as used for VAT (over 6 months or 6,000 km). A “new means of transport” owes 24% VAT in Greece.
Is the result binding?
No. It is an estimate. Customs uses the official price list for the exact version and the vehicle documents (certificate of conformity, registration).
From when is age counted?
From the car’s first registration anywhere, up to the date the Greek tax becomes due.
