What it is
AADE refunds to professional farmers the excise duty on the road diesel they bought for their farming. For 2026, Joint Ministerial Decision A.1078/2026 applies the rules of Decision A.1173/2024 (beneficiaries, maximum litres per crop).
No application is needed: the refund is calculated from the purchase invoices the filling station issued under your tax number and sent to AADE's myDATA and eSend, and it is paid in instalments (for invoices up to 31/3, 30/6, 30/9 and 30/11). The amount cannot be assigned or seized. You must have declared an IBAN in myAADE, otherwise payment is not made. Details and corrections are shown in myAADE → myBusinessSupport → «Farmers' excise refund».
According to an announcement by the Prime Minister (Thessaloniki International Fair, 6/9/2026), from 1 November 2026 the excise duty on farmers' fuel will be returned «with the system at the pump». How it will work and the amount per litre have not yet been published in an official decision; until then the rules of Decision A.1078/2026 described above apply.
