Greece to simplify farm diesel tax relief with MyDiesel app
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Greek Ministry of National Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Rural Development and Food, and the Independent Authority for Public Revenue signed a joint decision launching the myDiesel digital application on November 1, 2026.
Through myDiesel, eligible farmers in Greece will receive diesel fuel exempt from the Special Consumption Tax and Value Added Tax directly at gas stations. This new digital process replaces the existing system of refunding the tax and simplifies procedures for farmers.
Gas stations intending to offer fuel with this exemption must register with the application, available on the myAADE digital portal (myaade.gov.gr) starting October 22, 2026, and soon through a mobile app. Stations must also have updated their information in the Public Gas Station Registry of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue. The Authority sent messages to approximately 450 stations with incomplete registry information, and nearly half have already made the necessary corrections.
The refund of the tax to gas stations will happen automatically each Monday and Thursday, after the Authority verifies sales records through its myDATA or eSend systems. Additionally, legislation is being proposed to allow stations to receive a refund not only for the Special Consumption Tax but also for the Value Added Tax on that tax amount, and to protect these refunds from being offset against other debts.
The application’s features will be presented to the public on October 22, 2026, by the Ministers of National Economy and Rural Development, and the Governor of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue.
