- Greece says a foreign company can get an Electronic Invoicing Service Provider (YPAHES) license only if it has headquarters in Greece or a permanent establishment there.
- A foreign VAT number alone is not enough; the company must also have a Greek tax ID.
- The licensing process can be completed remotely from another country if all legal requirements and documents are submitted.
- The license applies to both B2B and B2C transactions.
- B2B certification is mandatory for licensed providers, and the Tax Authority’s English guidelines are available online.
