Tax Compliance Non Residents

Living abroad does not necessarily mean that your obligations in Greece disappear.

For non-residents who own property, receive income, maintain financial interests or otherwise have legal and economic ties to Greece, understanding and meeting local tax and compliance obligations is essential.

We provide focused legal and advisory support to non-resident individuals and investors, helping them understand how Greek rules interact with their personal circumstances and with obligations arising in other jurisdictions.

Cross-border taxation is rarely a matter of looking at one country's rules in isolation.

Issues of tax residence, source of income, property ownership, reporting obligations and the application of double taxation conventions may all need to be considered together.

Greek Tax Obligations for Non-Residents

A person who is not tax resident in Greece may still have obligations arising from Greek-source income, property ownership, transactions or other economic activity.

The exact position depends on the nature of the assets or income, the individual's tax residence and the applicable domestic and treaty rules.

Property is one of the most common reasons a non-resident continues to have obligations in Greece.

Property Ownership and Compliance

A foreign owner may need to consider issues connected with property taxes, rental income, tax filings, ownership documentation, transfers or future succession planning.

We help clients understand which matters require attention in Greece and coordinate with accountants or tax advisers where specialist tax work is required.

Where income or assets are connected with more than one country, the same underlying activity may be relevant to more than one tax system.

Double Taxation and Tax Treaties

Double taxation treaties are designed to allocate taxing rights and provide mechanisms for relief in qualifying circumstances.

For detailed information, see our dedicated **Double Taxation Treaties** page.

Tax Residence

Determining tax residence can have consequences that extend beyond one tax year.

Clients moving to or from Greece should consider tax residence alongside immigration status, property ownership, family circumstances and wider financial arrangements.

Ongoing Compliance for International Clients

Our objective is not simply to explain what an obligation is.

It is to help clients understand how it applies to their particular circumstances, what needs to be done and how Greek matters should be coordinated with the wider international picture.

For clients based abroad, we provide a reliable local point of contact for the management of Greek legal and compliance affairs.
