Foreign Company Services in Greece
N.KOLYDAS I.K.E. supports foreign companies, international founders and overseas advisors with Greek tax registration, VAT, branch or subsidiary setup, accounting, payroll, myDATA, bank file preparation and ongoing compliance.

Review of tax representation, local contact and compliance requirements.

Every Foreign Company Needs the Correct Greek Route
A foreign company may need Greek VAT registration only, a tax representative, a Greek branch, a subsidiary, payroll support, bank file preparation or a broader Greece Desk service. The correct route depends on contracts, invoices, employees, stock, customers, transaction flow and duration of activity in Greece.
We review the facts before the filing route is selected, so the company avoids unnecessary registrations, incomplete compliance and later corrections.
- EU and non-EU company cases
- VAT, tax ID, branch and subsidiary review
- Payroll, PE and local activity exposure
- Ongoing accounting and reporting support
How We Support Foreign Companies in Greece
The process starts with a structured review and ends with an operational compliance setup, not just a registration number.
Case Review
We review activity, contracts, customers, invoices, stock, people and Greek exposure.
Route Selection
We define whether the case needs VAT, tax ID, branch, subsidiary or payroll support.
Document File
We map corporate documents, authorisations, translations and representative data.
Registration
We coordinate the Greek tax, VAT or corporate registration process where required.
Compliance Setup
We organise books, VAT, myDATA, payroll and reporting obligations.
Ongoing Desk
We support the foreign company and its advisors with recurring Greek compliance.
Document and Registration File Preparation
Foreign company cases usually require careful document preparation. The exact file depends on the company’s country, legal form, representatives, activity and required Greek registration route.
We prepare the case file with a tax and accounting perspective, so the registration matches the company’s actual business activity and future reporting needs.
