Foreign individuals and companies may require a tax representative in Greece in order to interact with the Greek tax authorities.
Our office can act as tax representative and assist with registration procedures, tax compliance and communication with the tax administration.
Tax Representative in Greece
A tax representative in Greece acts as the local tax contact point for non-residents and supports communication with the Greek tax administration. For foreign companies, the correct route depends on whether the case concerns Greek AFM, VAT registration, EU or non-EU status, taxable transactions in Greece, or ongoing compliance obligations.

The Tax Representative Is the Local Tax Contact Point
The tax representative is not simply a name on a form. The role connects the foreign person or foreign company with the Greek tax administration, helps maintain communication, supports registry procedures and ensures that Greek tax notices and compliance points are not ignored.
For foreign companies, a separate review is required to determine whether the case concerns a tax representative, a VAT fiscal representative, an authorised tax contact, or broader Greek tax and accounting compliance.

Typical Cases Where a Tax Representative May Be Needed
The correct representative route depends on the person, country, activity and Greek tax exposure. EU and non-EU cases must not be treated as identical.
Tax Representative Process
The procedure should begin with a route review, because the documents and responsibilities differ depending on whether the case concerns an individual, a foreign company, VAT registration or ongoing tax compliance.
Case Review
We review whether the case concerns AFM, tax representative, VAT registration or compliance support.
Route Selection
We define the appropriate Greek tax route for individuals, EU companies or non-EU companies.
Document Mapping
We identify IDs, company documents, authorisations, translations and registry requirements.
myAADE / Tax Office
We coordinate the relevant digital or tax office procedure, where representation is agreed.
VAT / VIES Review
For companies, we review whether VAT, VIES, EORI or ongoing filings are required.
Compliance Follow-up
We monitor the ongoing tax and accounting obligations connected with the Greek tax position.
Documents and Information Usually Reviewed
The final document list depends on whether the client is an individual, a foreign company, an EU business, a non-EU business, a property owner or a company with Greek VAT exposure.
Our office reviews the file before the procedure begins, so the representative appointment or VAT route is aligned with the real tax exposure in Greece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who may need a tax representative in Greece?
Foreign individuals, tax residents abroad, property owners, foreign shareholders, foreign directors and foreign companies may need a Greek tax representative or tax contact depending on their Greek tax exposure.
Is a tax representative the same as a VAT fiscal representative?
No. The terms may overlap in practice, but they are not always the same. A VAT fiscal representative relates to VAT obligations, while a tax representative can also concern AFM, registry and general tax communication.
Do EU companies always need a Greek tax representative for VAT?
Not always. EU company cases must be reviewed separately. In certain VAT registration cases, an EU-established business may have a direct registration route without mandatory appointment of a tax representative.
Do non-EU companies need special review?
Yes. Non-EU company cases usually require a more detailed review of VAT exposure, representative requirements, authorisations, documents and ongoing Greek VAT compliance.
Do you provide support after the appointment?
Yes. We support ongoing tax communication, VAT and tax compliance where required, Greek tax filings and coordination with foreign advisors or parent companies.

One Connected Route
Do You Need to File Form E1 in Greece?
As a general rule, a foreign tax resident files a Greek income tax return when they receive actual Greek-source income, such as rental income, interest or a Greek pension. Merely owning property in Greece without receiving income may create an ENFIA obligation without necessarily creating an annual E1 filing obligation.
The filing position must always be confirmed from the actual facts, the current Greek tax registry and the rules in force for the relevant year.

- What type of income do you receive in Greece: rent, interest, pension or no income?
