Greece to enhance tax compliance with new digital tools
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) plans seven changes to improve tax collection and reduce evasion starting in 2027.
The Ministry of National Economy and Finance submitted a budgetary plan to the European Commission detailing these interventions. A central component is the Property Ownership and Management Registry, a digital record intended to consolidate information about real estate currently spread across multiple systems.
The AADE also intends to expand mandatory electronic billing to businesses with gross revenues under 1 million euros, giving authorities comprehensive, real-time market oversight. Digital tracking will extend to the events industry through a Digital Customer Registry, cross-referencing customer records with sales data and cash registers. To support field inspections, the AADE will upgrade its “CONTROL Live” application for faster access to information and better documentation of findings.
The plan includes a new platform for multinational groups to submit required global information reports, aligning with European directives on minimum corporate tax rates. Crucially, the AADE will leverage artificial intelligence and data analytics to identify risks and conduct more targeted audits. Finally, the authority will establish seven new Regional Tax Audit Centers and a Customs Control Center in Thessaloniki to better allocate resources and coordinate inspections.
