Safaris to locate vehicles that have been put in a state of immobility but are circulating on the roads are being prepared to be launched by AADE inspectors from September by setting up roadblocks at toll roads, national roads and ports by employing special license plate scanners.
With the portable scanners, the inspectors will be able to locate on the spot the vehicles circulating on the roads that have been declared to AADE to be stationary, but also the vehicles that will be found to be parked in a different place than the one had been declared in the statement of immovable property.
Violators will face a fine of €10,000 on top of their road tax and non-payment fine. If the offense is repeated within five years, the fine is tripled and the driver’s license of the owner or keeper of the vehicle is revoked for 3 years.
The administrative fine is imposed on the owner or owner of the vehicle and, in the case of co-owners, on the co-owner who initially submitted the request to immobilize the vehicle.
The fine is imposed by the A.A.D.E and against the act of imposing the present fine an appeal is allowed in accordance with the Code of Administrative Procedure. For the removal of the diploma, the competent Service of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is informed.
The tax and customs services of AADE are defined as the bodies responsible for carrying out the audit. The control may be carried out following the issuance of a control order or following electronic cross-checks by the AADE by extracting data from the highway concessionaires. Control devices can detect vehicles that, while declared stationary, are found to be in motion or have been in motion, through a special mobile device application for license plate scanning.
Definite inactivity
Vehicles older than 40 years automatically fall into a state of permanent inactivity for which either the owner does not take any updating actions within three months of the relevant notification or they belong to deceased persons who, for the period of the last 15 years, have not been cumulatively settled, in terms of the payment of the corresponding traffic or use fees or, when provided for, in terms of the annual review of their traffic license, the insurance obligation and the performance of a Vehicle Technical Control Center (K.T.E.O.) inspection.
Self-imposed decommissioning takes place without prior notice to owners, co-owners or owners if the vehicle does not appear on their tax returns for the previous 5 tax years.
Vehicles that are detected in a state of temporary inactivity at more than 3 consecutive electronic intersections, automatically enter a state of permanent inactivity at the fourth intersection.
