- Greece has transposed EU Directive 2020/285 and Regulation 904/2010 into its VAT Code, introducing a special VAT exemption scheme for small enterprises.
- The scheme provides VAT exemptions for small businesses, both domestic and from other EU Member States, for goods and services supplied in Greece and across the EU.
- Implementation is phased, with start dates for exemptions ranging from January 1, 2025, to April 1, 2026, depending on the SME scheme and prior notifications.
- The scheme aims to simplify reporting and reduce administrative burdens for small businesses with low turnover.
- Eligibility: Greek businesses with annual turnover ≤ €10,000 and EU businesses with turnover below national thresholds and ≤ €100,000 EU-wide can benefit, with specific application and notification procedures for domestic and cross-border schemes.
