Greece’s 2026 Tax Bill: VAT Amendments, Reverse Charge, Energy Rate Cuts, and Retroactive Penalties

  • Greece’s omnibus tax bill includes VAT amendments, Pillar Two, DAC8, and DAC9, with most VAT measures effective upon publication, some retroactively or with carve-outs.
  • Reverse charge rules for construction services will be tightened immediately, requiring businesses to reassess contractor/subcontractor arrangements.
  • Electricity transmission services will move to a reduced 6% VAT rate, effective either on publication or a specified date, necessitating quick updates to invoicing and tax codes.
  • Clarification on volume-based VAT rebates will take immediate effect, increasing scrutiny on timing and accuracy of adjustments.
  • Penalties for nil and credit VAT returns and late withholding filings will be reduced or abolished retroactively to April 2024, offering compliance relief but not reducing audit risk.
