* This has been published previously, but is being done again as a reminder to everyone who is a salaried worker with upcoming deadlines. Everyone has been given an extra 10 days due to various strikes.
Tax deadlines in Greece are determined by the final digits of an individual’s AFM (tax) number and category of filing. If you are filing as a married couple on one form, the husband’s AFM is used to determine the deadline.
Forms are sent to the legal address indicated on last year’s form or can be picked up in person at any eforia (DOY). If you don’t know whether you need to file, you can consult “Who needs to file taxes in Greece” or ask direct by calling/visiting the eforia (DOY) nearest to your legal residence. Locations can be found here in English or any map book available at a periptero (kiosk).
Online filing in Greek only can be completed at taxisnet.gr with the recommendation of filing at least 5 days in advance of your deadline. Those filing past the deadline will incur a 1 percent penalty for each month on the amount due or a fine up to 1200 euros if exempt.
If you are a salaried worker, your employer should have provided you with the necessary taxis paper by the legal deadline of February 15.

Important note
Please note that I am not an employee of the Greek state and cannot give tax advice. I once completed my own forms by translating tax instructions, but for the past 5 years I have employed a competent accountant who files my forms for a small fee.
If you need to file a form in the USA, the deadline of April 15 has passed. However, filing is easily done online.
