The relevant decision on the granting of the Market Pass was published in the Official Gazette, where details are given on how the shopping card will be granted from February 2023 to July 2023 to the beneficiaries.
The vouchers.gov.gr platform will be operational from February 1st until March 15th and the beneficiaries will enter with the Taxis codes.
According to the decision, a 10% subsidy is given on the purchases of households that meet the inclusion criteria, in supermarkets, bakeries, mini-markets, fruit shops, butchers, fish shops, dairy shops and other food retail stores.
The monthly purchase subsidy limit per household amounts to 220 euros for a single-member household, increasing by 100 euros for each additional member and up to 1,000 euros of purchases.
The above amounts will be credited monthly to a digital debit card that can be used exclusively in food retail stores.
When will the amounts be paid?
For applications submitted by March 15, payment will be made by March 20, while for the remaining months payment will be made by the third day of each month.
