Decision No. 1129/2026 by AADE Director George Pitsilis puts a definitive end to the “trade” in fuel receipts.
Under this decision, starting January 1, 2027, an invoice must be issued for every wholesale (B2B) transaction at gas stations, starting from the first euro.
This means that:
It will NOT be possible to collect receipts from a gas station from any individual and issue an invoice based on them.
This is because, starting next year, simple retail fuel receipts (i.e., those without a customer’s tax ID number) will NOT be accepted for inclusion in a professional’s or business’s expenses.
Taking advantage of the previous system, which had been established several years ago when electronic invoicing and automatic transmission to myDATA did not yet exist, various unscrupulous individuals claimed expenses they had not actually incurred, with the aim of paying less tax.
Naturally, under the new procedure, all business fuel expenses will be automatically reported to myDATA upon issuance of the invoice.
This decision does not entail any changes to gas station software, since they already issue invoices today anyway.
