Greek authorities are set to issue fines totaling €12.5 million following automated cross-checks targeting vehicle owners who have failed to pay their 2025 road tax or maintain valid motor insurance. These checks—now powered by artificial intelligence—are part of a broader digital enforcement effort led by the General Secretariat for Information Systems and Digital Governance (GSISDG) under the Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence.
How the System Works
The AI-driven system cross-references data from multiple public databases—including vehicle registration, insurance records, and tax payment histories—to identify non-compliance. The reference date for this latest round of checks is March 10, 2026.
A total of 32,205 penalty notices have been issued in this cycle: 30,248 against individuals and 1,553 against legal entities—all for failure to insure vehicles. This brings the cumulative total of penalties issued so far for 2025 road tax and insurance violations to €12,545,250.
Notification and Access
Citizens and businesses are notified via SMS, email, or postal mail—depending on contact details registered in official systems. Those who have updated their information in the National Communication Registry (EMEp) receive alerts directly from GSISDG. Others receive emails from the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE). Where digital contact fails, certified letters are sent by post.
All penalty notices—and detailed vehicle-level reports—are accessible through the government’s Cross-Check Controls application (oximata.gov.gr), using TaxisNet credentials, or via gov.gr under Property & Taxation > Vehicles.
Filing Objections
As in previous cycles, taxpayers may file objections electronically through the same platform, attaching supporting documents relevant to their case. Objections must be submitted within 10 working days of notification—excluding the period from August 1 to August 31.
AADE’s General Directorate for Enforcement and Collection (DEOS) reviews objections using advanced digital tools and interagency data sharing. The AI system processes both the objection and its supporting evidence, generating a fully documented recommendation—including an assessment proposal, confidence score, and plain-language justification—to assist human reviewers. While the AI’s recommendation informs the decision, final authority remains with the competent administrative body.
This marks a significant step toward automated, transparent, and efficient tax and regulatory enforcement in Greece.
