Regular inspections over KTEO, road tax

A new bill by the Ministry of National Economy and Finance provides for a 500-euro fine on uninsured passenger cars, while establishing electronic checks to identify them; the same will apply to vehicles that have not passed technical inspection (KTEO) or whose owners have not paid their road tax.

The bill activates a new system of electronic inspections, utilizing various public databases. The checks will be carried out on a biannual basis by the General Secretariat for Information Systems, with electronic cross-checking of data from the databases of the tax administration, the ministries of Infrastructure and Transport, Citizen Protection, Interior, and Immigration and Asylum, the Hellenic Association of Insurance Companies, from the Register of Insured Vehicles of the Supplementary Fund, the Alternative Vehicle Management of Greece and Taxisnet.
