Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a plan to implement tax-free agricultural diesel directly at the pump starting November 1, 2026. The initiative is intended to improve liquidity for farmers by providing immediate tax relief during refueling, rather than requiring them to pay the full price and wait for subsequent refunds. The new system will utilize a digital process managed by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) through the ‘myDiesel’ application. Farmers and livestock breeders will use a personal QR code to verify eligibility, fuel type, and remaining quotas in real time based on their Single farm registration (OSDE) data. The total discount is estimated at approximately 50.84 cents per liter, consisting of 41 cents in Excise Duty (SCT) and roughly 9.84 cents in VAT. To mitigate technical issues, an offline fallback mode has been established, allowing for the use of physical coupons for up to 50 liters in the event of application failure. Following a Joint Ministerial Decision, the scope of the tax benefit was expanded to include fur breeders in Western Macedonia, specifically in the Kastoria and Kozani regions. As the November 1 implementation date approaches, Minister of Rural Development and Food Margaritis Schoinas confirmed that the system will increase the upper limit for tax-exempt diesel quantities from 150% to 200% of the reference quantity. On October 22, 2026, the AADE officially launched the myDiesel application via the myAADE portal and mobile devices. Under the new system, eligible producers will generate a digital coupon with a unique QR code using their TAXISnet credentials. This coupon, which remains valid for five hours, is scanned at the fuel station to apply the discount in real time. Additionally, authorities have begun updating consumption reference tables—last established in 2016—to more accurately reflect modern crop types, equipment, and producer requirements.
