Your Greek taxes,
handled in plain English.

You don't need to visit Greece or speak Greek. We handle the AADE registration on your behalf via authorisation, prepare the paperwork, and send you your AFM number, usually within 48 hours once we have your documents. We can also activate TAXISnet and myAADE access if you'll need to file or use government services.

Can I get an AFM without coming to Greece?

Yes. We apply for you through an authorisation. If you live abroad, you sign it at a Greek consulate or with a local notary, and we tell you exactly which document to sign.

What do I need an AFM for?

Almost everything: opening a Greek bank account, buying or renting property, setting up utilities, starting a job or registering as self-employed.

Does an AFM make me a Greek tax resident?

No. It's only a reference number. Tax residency depends on where you live and how long you spend in Greece.

We prepare your full E1 declaration, including any E2 for rental income and foreign income with treaty relief, and submit it through TAXISnet on your behalf via scoped authorisation. You review a plain-English summary before anything is filed. We never submit without your written approval.

Do I have to file if I earned nothing in Greece?

If you are a Greek tax resident, yes. You declare your income from everywhere, even if you owe nothing. Non-residents file only when they have Greek income, such as rent or a salary for work done in Greece.

When is the deadline?

Filing opens in spring (usually mid-March) and usually closes in July. The exact dates are set every year.

I already pay tax in another country. Will I pay twice?

Usually not. Tax treaties stop the same income being taxed twice, but the foreign income still has to be declared correctly to get that relief.

Forward us the letter and we tell you exactly what it means, what (if anything) you need to do, and by when. If a response is required, we draft and submit it on your behalf. No more anxious guessing at Greek bureaucratic language.

Do I always have to reply?

No. Many letters are for information only. We tell you if you need to act, and by when.

Is there a deadline?

Often, and it can be short. Send us the letter as soon as it arrives.

Can you reply for me?

Yes. If a reply is needed, we draft it and our licensed accountant submits it once you approve.

We handle the E2 rental schedule and its link to your E1, making sure your Greek property income is declared correctly and you claim everything you're entitled to. Works whether you're resident or non-resident.

I live abroad. Do I still declare rent from my Greek property?

Yes. Rent from Greek property is taxed in Greece wherever you live. You file an E1 with the E2 as a non-resident.

Does this cover short-term rentals like Airbnb?

Yes. Short-term rental income is declared on the E2 as well.

We review your ENFIA assessment each year, check it against your actual property details, flag any errors, and make sure it's filed and paid correctly. Useful if you own property but don't live in Greece full-time.

Who has to pay ENFIA?

ENFIA is Greece's yearly property tax. Anyone who owns property in Greece on 1 January pays it, resident or not.

When do I pay it?

AADE, the Greek tax authority, issues the bill in spring, and you can pay it in monthly instalments.

My ENFIA looks wrong. Can it be fixed?

Often, yes. ENFIA is calculated from your property record (the E9). If the record is wrong, we correct it so the bill matches your actual property.

Missing one or more past years is extremely common and usually fixable. We assess what's outstanding, prepare the late declarations, and bring you fully up to date, explaining any penalties clearly before we proceed.

How many years back can I file?

As many as are missing. We check your record in myAADE, the tax authority's online portal, and list exactly what is outstanding.

Will I pay a penalty?

Usually a fixed €100 for each late return, plus interest on any tax due. We tell you the total before anything is filed.

Is it better to wait?

No. Interest keeps growing, and missing returns tend to come up at the worst time, like a permit renewal or a property sale.

We register your self-employment with AADE and EFKA, set up your contribution schedule, and explain exactly what you'll owe and when. You get a clear plain-English picture of life as a freelancer in Greece before you commit.

Do I need to charge VAT?

Not while your revenue stays under €10,000 a year, under the small business exemption. Go over it and you charge VAT from that moment, with no grace period, and file VAT returns. Some activities are different, so we check yours first.

How much is social security (EFKA)?

A fixed monthly amount based on the category you choose, not on what you earn. We explain the options before you register.

Can I register if all my clients are abroad?

Yes. If you live and work in Greece, you register here, wherever your clients are.

Do I need e-invoicing?

If you invoice Greek or non-EU businesses, yes. From 2 November 2026 those invoices must be issued electronically, through AADE's free timologio app or a certified provider. The transition runs until 31 January 2027. We set it up with you.

The Digital Nomad Visa comes with tax obligations most people aren't told about upfront. We set up your AADE and EFKA registrations correctly, explain what you actually owe and when, and make sure your tax position matches your visa status, so there are no surprises at filing time. Everything handled in English.

Does the visa make me a Greek tax resident?

Not by itself. Residency depends on spending more than 183 days in Greece, or on your life being based here.

Do I get the 50% tax break (Article 5C)?

No, in most cases. It needs Greek employment or a Greek business, and the visa doesn't allow either. Ask us if your plans might change.

Ongoing support for self-employed expats: your E1 filing, EFKA monitoring, quarterly check-ins, and answers to ad-hoc questions throughout the year. One fixed monthly fee, no surprises, all in English.

What's included?

Your yearly E1, keeping an eye on your EFKA payments, quarterly check-ins, and answers to your questions all year, in English.

Who is it for?

Freelancers and sole traders who want one team looking after their Greek tax all year, instead of paying job by job.

The simplest way to operate as an individual business in Greece. We handle GEMI registration, the tax-office notifications, and EFKA setup, and explain your ongoing obligations. Pricing depends on your specifics, so we quote after a quick look at your situation.

Sole trader or freelancer: what's the difference?

Both are self-employed. Which one you are depends on your activity, and it changes your social security and some tax rules. We check this before registering you.

Will I need help every year?

Yes. A business has regular filings, like VAT returns and the E3 with your yearly E1. Our retainer covers this.

Do I need e-invoicing?

If you sell to Greek or non-EU businesses, yes. From 2 November 2026 those invoices must be issued electronically, through AADE's free timologio app or a certified provider, with a transition until 31 January 2027. Sales to private customers do not change.

Greece's most popular small-business structure. We manage the full formation: articles of association, GEMI registration, and tax and social-security notifications. We quote once we understand your plans, so the price fits the actual work.

How much capital do I need?

There is no real minimum. An IKE can be set up with as little as €1.

Can I set up an IKE if I don't live in Greece?

Yes. You need an AFM, and we handle the rest of the setup.

IKE or sole trader?

An IKE keeps your personal assets separate and can mean less tax at higher profits, but it costs more to run. We compare both using your numbers.

Our specialty. Full relocation tax setup: Greek registration, residency certificate, first-year income planning, and coordination with your home-country obligations so you're not taxed twice. High-impact and worth getting right the first time, so we quote after understanding your situation.

When do I become a Greek tax resident?

Usually after more than 183 days in Greece in a 12-month period, or once your home and life are based here.

Are there tax breaks for people moving here?

Yes, for some people: 50% off employment or business income for 7 years (Article 5C), a 7% flat rate on foreign income for pensioners (Article 5B), or the €100,000 flat tax (Article 5A). Each has strict conditions.

Will I be taxed in both countries?

It can happen in the year you move. The tax treaty between the two countries decides, and we coordinate so your income isn't taxed twice.

Leaving properly is where people get caught out. We handle moving your tax residency out of Greece with AADE, your certificate of non-residency, and your final declaration, so Greece stops treating you as resident and taxing your worldwide income. We quote once we know your circumstances.

Does leaving Greece end my tax residency?

No, not by itself. You apply to AADE, the Greek tax authority, and prove your new residence abroad.

What is the deadline?

The application is due in early March of the year after you leave, with documents by early September. Late files are still accepted until 31 December.

Do I keep my AFM?

Yes, for life. If you still have Greek income, such as rent or a salary for work done in Greece, you keep filing as a non-resident.

We check your situation against every 5C condition and tell you in writing: yes, no, or what would need to change. If you qualify, we file the application in myAADE, and the €49 is credited in full. Most remote employees of foreign companies do not qualify, so it is worth checking before you plan around it.

Who qualifies?

People who were not Greek tax residents in 5 of the last 6 years, move here from the EU or a country that shares tax information with Greece, stay at least 2 years, and work for a Greek employer (including the Greek public sector) or run a business registered in Greece.

I work remotely for a company abroad. Do I qualify?

Usually not. For employees, 5C needs a Greek employer or the Greek branch of a foreign company.

What does the €49 check include?

A written answer on every condition and the application deadline for your case. If you qualify and we file for you, the €49 is credited in full.

Greece's flat-tax regime for high-net-worth individuals relocating: a €100k annual flat tax on foreign income regardless of amount, for up to 15 years. Strict eligibility applies, and the application deadline is 30 September of the year you move or the next year. We assess whether you qualify and whether it actually saves you money, then handle the full application.

Who qualifies?

People who were not Greek tax residents in 7 of the last 8 years and who invest at least €500,000 in Greece within three years. Golden visa holders who keep their permit are exempt from the investment.

What does it cover?

A flat €100,000 a year on all foreign income, for up to 15 years, plus €20,000 for each family member you include.

When do I apply?

By 30 September of the year you move to Greece, or of the following year. If you move after 2 July, only the following year is possible. You apply once, and it keeps applying while you stay eligible. The €100,000 is paid by the end of December each year.
