Greece introduced VAT from 1987. It joined the European Union in 1981. VAT legislation has been standardized to a large extent across the European Union, and this includes Greece as an EU Member State.
In Greece, the European Union (EU) Directive 2006/112 on the common system of VAT serves as the legal foundation for VAT imposition. The Greek VAT Code, which was initially implemented through Law 1642/1986 and was later consolidated and revised in Law 2859/2000, constitutes the primary legislation governing VAT in Greece.
