The surge in interest from wealthy foreigners, pensioners, and employees looking to relocate to Greece for tax benefits has led the Greek tax administration to streamline and digitize its processes. Starting in June, the registration and acquisition of a tax registration number will be reduced from months to just a few days, according to tax office officials.Applicants will now submit their applications online.
Those interested in working in Greece and benefiting from the favorable tax legislation, which includes a 50% tax reduction, must meet specific conditions. They will submit their applications through this digital platform, which integrates with the Ministry of Labor and the Ergani database, automatically retrieving all required data.Additionally, the monitoring of individuals transferring their tax residency to Greece will be facilitated by a new electronic platform.
This platform will track compliance with the program’s conditions, such as ensuring that wealthy individuals have made the mandated investment of at least 500,000 euros, and that employees maintain their employment or report any changes in their employment status.
