Of Chrysostom Tsufi

The CoE has ruled that a five -year limitation period is valid for the certificate of traffic charges (in the case of non -payment or reduced payment as well as the fines due). The five -year period is calculated from the end of the year for which the traffic charges are due. For example, at the end of 2016 and any fines due can be confirmed by 31/12/2021

On the basis of these, the head of AADE George Pitsilis He has ordered to proceed with the certificate of the fees of 2020 so that they will not be limited at the end of the year. The process, which will run by the Directorate -General for E -Government, must have been completed by December 5th.

By the 15 to September 30 All vehicle owners will be notified by e-mail except for the exception (disabled, deceased), with debts from traffic charges for 2020, in which they will be informed that they have a deadline By the end of October to declare in the MyCar application the actual state of its vehicle during the year in question to exclude the payment of the traffic fees. Of course, they must provide the appropriate supporting documents. (If it is not possible to communicate with vehicle owners by email, it will be done by registered postal letters).

The application will open on October 1 and will display the debts from the marketing fees of 2020 per owner. Entrance to this application is carried out with Taxisnet codes. Through the application the owner states the status of the vehicle for the year of debt or for subsequent years (eg stolen, deleted, immobilized, exempt, etc.)

Even after 31 October, owners can declare the ratio of non -debt of traffic by attaching the supporting documents that prove the fact through the application ‘My requests’without them the action to stop the certificate process. That is, the sanctions will be imposed despite the statement and then the taxpayer “blends” with applications for deletion, offsetting, etc.

Tax services are updated in real time about the situation of each vehicle based on the statements of the owners and corrects the vehicle image of the vehicle in the vehicle information system until November 28.

For example, if for one vehicle it appears that it was circulating abroad for more than one year, then its image of all years is corrected (put into forced stillness for the appropriate period).

In cases where a delivery of an iron collector/loss is reported, and there is no appropriate supporting documents except a statement of responsibility, the image of the vehicle is not corrected, but a note is recorded.

In cases where the supporting documents submitted do not prove non -obligation to pay for traffic fees, the certificate of fees along with the fine shall proceed normally.

However, in any case where the owner of a vehicle in which the year 2020 has been confirmed, submit back supporting documents that prove the non -debt (either of the traffic and the fine or the fine) are accepted by the competent tax service and the debt shall be deleted.
