– What should I do to cross-check the proof of heating oil purchase?

You will need to provide the heating oil supplier with the correct details, VAT number and POWER NUMBER, in order to issue the purchase document. The correct details are the ones you have applied for or will apply for and are listed on the submission receipt which appears when you click on the blue PDF icon.

The heating oil purchase document must be issued to the applicant’s VAT number, ie the VAT number corresponding to the TAXISnet codes with which the electronic application was submitted or will be submitted.

In the case of an apartment building, the heating oil purchase document must be issued either to the VAT number of the administrator / representative corresponding to the TAXISnet codes with which the profile of the apartment building was created or will be created, or to the VAT number of the apartment building, if issued and issued by / representative of the apartment building in the relevant profile (see relevant question 14). The heating oil purchase document must indicate the correct power supply number of the house and in the case of an apartment building the correct power supply number declared as shared in the profile.

– How many applications can I submit by December 15, 2021 for the heating allowance for the period 2021-2022?

The application does not have a limit on the number of applications you will submit, but only your last application will be valid. Each new application cancels the previous one. Applications should only apply to your main residence.

– During the heating period 2021-2022, I have supplied more than one type of fuel. Can I submit multiple applications, one for each type of fuel?

No. According to the decision, each beneficiary is entitled to a subsidy of only one type of heating fuel and also each new application cancels the previous one.

– As an apartment building manager, am I required to create an apartment building profile when heating in the apartment building is done with one of the other types of fuel, other than heating oil?

In this case, the applications of all beneficiaries are enough to be made as in detached houses. The application does not prevent you from creating an apartment building profile, but it is not required as the heating millimeters are included in the amount corresponding to the beneficiary and will be registered by the beneficiary himself (not by the administrator) through the application MY DOCUMENTS.

– As an apartment building manager with a common burner, what do I need to do in terms of heating millimeters, payment activation and apartment building VAT?

The administrator / representative enters the details of the apartments of the apartment building / oligo house, as well as the millimeters of participation of each of them in the heating expenses (heating millimeters).

Changes to the above information can be made by the administrator only before activating the payment feature.

It is mandatory to declare the millimeters of participation in heating costs for all the apartments of an apartment building in order to create its overall image (open / closed – which belong to natural or legal persons). You will need to agree on a year-round allocation. The total of the millimeters of the apartments must be 1000, so that you can activate the possibility of payment.

You can activate the payment option when even one beneficiary application has been submitted. You can see this from the “There is a request” sign to the right of the apartment details.

If this is a change of manager during the heating allowance period see a related question

– What should be done in case of change of administrator?

A new apartment building profile must be created by the new administrator. The tenants / owners will submit their applications in the new profile created with the TIN of the new administrator. The new administrator should not forget to activate the payment feature as it is a new profile.

CAUTION! If the administrator changes after December 15, 2021, when the application deadline expires, then any purchases of heating oil made by March 31, 2022 must be issued to the VAT number of the previous administrator, otherwise there will be no crossover.

– I am an apartment building manager, how can I change the data that appear in the tenant distribution and specifically the Surname and Tenant name fields?

Items cannot be changed. The names are indicative and do not affect the application. In case the names of previous tenants appear in the profile of the apartment building, then the administrator should inform the new tenant (if he wishes to apply) about the number of the apartment he should choose in the profile of the apartment building (let him indicate the name of the previous tenant).

There is no administrator in the apartment building or there is no shared power supply number (meter) in the apartment building. What must be declared?

In case there is no administrator, it should be agreed with all the tenants / owners who will “take over” the role of administrator in order to create through the myHeating platform, the profile of the apartment building with the apartments, heating millimeters, etc. In case there is no shared power supply, it should be agreed with all tenants / owners, whose power supply number (usually the administrator / representative) will “play” the role of shared power to be declared in the profile of the building.

– In our apartment building, each apartment has its own burner. Do we have to declare it as an apartment building or should every tenant / owner apply as a resident of a detached house?

You will make separate applications each, as residents of a detached house and you will have to procure the type of heating fuel with different purchase documents.

– Do the square meters of my house affect the amount of the allowance?

No.

– Does the gas company need to take any action in order to receive the heating allowance?

No.

– My account is not being credited due to an inactive IBAN declaration. How can I fix it?

The new IBAN account number will be declared through the link https://www.aade.gr/. In myAADE you select “REGISTER & COMMUNICATION” and connect with your personal TAXISnet codes. After logging in, fill in the new account number in the “IBAN Account Statement” field.
