Accountant in Greece for Non-Residents

Looking for an accountant in Greece for non-residents? CK Accounting & Tax Services provides professional tax and accounting support for non-residents, expatriates, property owners and international investors with financial interests in Greece.

Managing tax obligations in another country can become complicated quickly. Greek tax registration, reporting and filing requirements may apply even when you live permanently abroad.

CK Accounting & Tax Services provides personalised tax and accounting support to individuals, property owners and investors who live outside Greece but maintain income, assets, investments or other financial interests in the country.

Accountant in Greece for Non-Residents: Tax Services

Depending on your individual circumstances, living abroad does not necessarily remove your Greek tax obligations. We provide practical support across the main areas affecting non-residents with financial interests in Greece.

Greek Tax Number (AFM) & Tax Registration

We assist non-residents and foreign individuals with obtaining a Greek Tax Identification Number (AFM), TAXISnet credentials and completing the relevant registration procedures with the Greek tax authorities.

Where applicable, we can also assist with the appointment of a tax representative in Greece and the preparation of the supporting documentation required for the procedure.

Greek Income Tax Returns for Non-Residents

Non-residents are generally subject to Greek taxation on Greek-source income. Whether a Greek income tax return must be filed depends on the nature of the income and the individual’s circumstances.

We review your tax position, determine the applicable Greek filing obligations and prepare the required income tax return, taking into account any relevant Double Taxation Agreement where applicable.

Property Owners in Greece

Owning property in Greece can create ongoing tax and reporting obligations even when you are permanently resident abroad. We provide tax support throughout the ownership period, from the correct registration of the property to annual tax compliance.

  • E9 property declarations and amendments
  • ENFIA property tax monitoring
  • Rental income taxation
  • Annual Greek income tax returns
  • Property-related tax compliance
  • Changes in ownership or property information

Rental Income in Greece for Non-Residents

If you live abroad and receive rental income from property situated in Greece, that income may give rise to Greek tax and filing obligations.

We assist with the declaration of Greek rental income, the preparation of the relevant tax return and the ongoing tax compliance associated with your property. Where appropriate, we also consider the applicable Double Taxation Agreement between Greece and your country of tax residence.

Tax Residency & Cross-Border Tax Matters

Tax residency can have significant consequences for individuals with personal, professional or financial connections to more than one country. Determining the correct tax residence is essential for understanding where income must be declared and how international tax obligations should be handled.

We assist individuals with Greek tax residency and cross-border tax matters, including:

  • Transfer of tax residence from Greece abroad
  • Transfer of tax residence to Greece
  • Review of Greek tax residency status
  • Foreign-source and Greek-source income
  • Application of Double Taxation Agreements
  • Tax residence certificates and supporting documentation
  • Communication with the Greek tax authorities on tax residency matters

Considering Moving to Greece?

Greece provides special tax regimes for certain individuals who transfer their tax residence to Greece, including qualifying investors, foreign pensioners and individuals taking up employment or business activity in the country.

We can review your circumstances before relocation and assess whether one of the available special tax regimes may be relevant to your case.

Buying or Owning Property in Greece?

If you are considering purchasing property in Greece, tax planning should ideally begin before the transaction takes place. Foreign buyers may need to complete a number of tax registration and compliance steps before and after the acquisition.

We can coordinate the tax and accounting aspects of the process, including Greek tax registration (AFM), property declarations and the ongoing tax obligations arising from ownership in Greece.

Where the transaction also requires legal or notarial assistance, we work alongside the client’s lawyer and notary to help ensure that the tax, legal and transactional stages are properly coordinated.

Why International Clients Choose CK Accounting & Tax Services

Working with tax obligations in another country requires more than completing forms and meeting filing deadlines. International clients need a trusted professional in Greece who can understand their circumstances, explain the Greek requirements clearly and remain available as their situation develops.

Personalised Handling

Your case is reviewed individually. We first understand your tax residence, Greek connections, income and assets before determining which registrations, filings or procedures are actually required.

Clear Communication in English

Greek tax procedures can be difficult to navigate from abroad. We communicate clearly in English, explain what is required and keep you informed throughout the process.

Cross-Border Perspective

We regularly assist clients whose tax affairs involve Greece and another jurisdiction. Where relevant, we consider tax residency, the source of income and the applicable Double Taxation Agreement rather than looking at the Greek obligation in isolation.

One Point of Contact in Greece

When a case also involves lawyers, notaries, banks or other professionals, we can coordinate with them on the tax and accounting aspects of the matter, giving you a consistent point of contact in Greece.

Support Beyond the Initial Procedure

Our involvement does not have to end once an AFM is issued, a property is purchased or a tax return is filed. Where needed, we provide ongoing support and monitoring of your Greek tax obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do non-residents have to file a tax return in Greece?

A non-resident may have a Greek tax filing obligation when they receive Greek-source income. The exact filing requirement depends on the type of income and the individual’s circumstances, so each case should be reviewed separately.

An AFM is required for many tax and financial transactions in Greece, including the acquisition of property. We can assist with the registration procedure and the supporting documentation required in your case.
