Understanding the Requirement
If you are a Greek citizen or taxpayer living abroad, you may be surprised to learn that Greek law requires you to appoint a tax representative in Greece. This is not optional. Without one, your filings can be rejected, delayed, or fined. A tax representative is the legally recognized person who handles your tax obligations with the Greek authorities, ensuring you remain fully compliant.
Who Needs a Tax Representative in Greece?
Not every Greek abroad realizes they fall under this requirement. You need a tax representative if:
You are a Greek citizen or taxpayer living abroad
You own property in Greece
You inherit property in Greece
You have income in Greece that must be declared
In short, if you have any financial ties to Greece, you are obligated to have an appointed representative.
Risks of Not Having a Tax Representative
Failing to appoint one can lead to:
Rejection of your tax returns
Administrative fines ranging from €100–€500 per return, depending on your status
Accrued penalties and interest for late or incorrect filings
Delays in property transactions or inheritance matters
These risks make it essential to comply with the law and have a trusted representative on your side.
