Balearic car scrappage fund rises to €7.99 million

Palma, Mallorca: The Balearic government authorises another €4 million to help scrap the most polluting cars, taking the fund to €7.99 million. Government spokesman Antoni Costa announces the increase after a cabinet meeting on Friday 13 November. It is intended to cover more applications submitted by the 4 July 2026 deadline.

The fund started with €2 million, but that was not enough to meet demand. The government approved a further €2 million on 6 November before this latest increase. The original money came from the Balearic tax on tourist stays; the additions come from the autonomous community’s own funds for 2026.

For applicants in Mallorca and across the Balearic Islands, the extra money does not reopen the deadline. Applications can be funded until the money runs out, provided the grants can be paid within the 2026 budget year.
