- Greece Enforces Tax Measures, Promotes E-invoicing Adoption
- The Greek Parliament passed Law 5073/2023 to combat tax evasion, with provisions for fines and tax deductions to be implemented by the Minister of National Economy and Finance. Additionally, incentives for voluntary e-invoicing will be effective from December 11, 2023. The law introduces penalties for non-compliance with MyDATA regulations, with fines reaching up to 250 Euros per document. Tax deductions and deductible expenses are only considered if related documents are electronically transmitted to AADE in line with MyDATA requirements. Taxpayers using electronic invoicing through a service provider will benefit from an extended incentive period until December 31, 2024. Greece is also considering implementing mandatory e-invoicing and discussing with the EU Commission for a B2B e-invoicing mandate, indicating a push for wider adoption of e-invoicing in the country.
