Greece Clarifies Penalties for Fiscal Device Violations and Record Preservation

  • AADE Circular E.2044/2026 clarifies penalties for violations involving fiscal electronic mechanisms such as cash registers, tax memories, and electronic records.
  • Late filing of declarations for acquisition, modification, shutdown, or withdrawal of a fiscal device made on or after Sept. 16, 2024, carries a fixed €500 fine; if no declaration is filed at all, the fine is €500 per device.
  • For older violations, lower penalties may apply, including €100 in many cases between 2016 and Sept. 15, 2024; the violation date is either the late filing date or the missed deadline.
  • Failing to preserve a fiscal device or related records can trigger a €2,500 fine if reported before an audit, while audit-discovered cases may face harsher separate penalties.
  • The circular also explains limitation periods and stresses timely declarations and secure retention of fiscal equipment and records.
