Greece

Greece’s tax system is administered by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR / AADE). As an EU member state, Greece follows the EU VAT Directive with locally adapted rates.

FPA (Fóros Prostithémenis Axías) applies at standard, reduced, and super-reduced rates. The islands of Leros, Lesbos, Kos, Samos, and Chios benefit from a reduction on all standard rates.

Businesses are identified by their AFM (Arithmós Forologikoú Mitróou), a 9-digit tax identification number. The Greek VAT number uses the format EL followed by the 9-digit AFM.

Greece uses the myDATA platform for tax reporting, where invoices must be classified with specific invoice type codes, VAT category codes, income classifications, and exemption codes. Payment method codes must also be reported. PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 is used for B2G e-invoicing. Credit notes are supported for invoice corrections.
