Five-speed road tax to be paid by millions of vehicle owners: The deadline for paying the fees is inflexible, as this year too there is no provision for an extension. Those who delay their payment will pay a small to a …larger fine, which reaches up to twice the value of the fee. The fine will be graduated, depending on the length of time a car or two-wheeler owner takes to settle his liability towards the State.

In any case, AADE posted on the platform myCARthe notices of 2026 enabling vehicle owners to be informed of the amounts due to them. The repayment term ends on December 31, 2025

How are late payment fines calculated?

In case of late payment, the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE) has introduced a new system of fines, which escalates depending on the delay period:

  • 25% on the fee if payment is made within January 2026.
  • 50% on the fee if payment is made in February 2026.
  • 100% on the fee if payment is made from 1 March 2026 onwards.
  • The minimum fine is set at 30 euros, regardless of the amount of the fee.

What does this mean practically? If someone has to pay €240 in fees for their vehicle by December 31, if he is late he will pay the following amounts:

  • 300 euros for the period from 1st to 31st January
  • 390 euros for the period from February 1 to the end of February and
  • 480 euros after March 1st
