Tax Residency and Registry Requirements for Residents Abroad in Greece
If you are a resident abroad – Greek citizen or Foreigner – and have acquired property assets or have income in Greece that does not originate from work related activities, then you need a Tax Registry Number (ΑΦΜ) to be issued at the specific office for residents abroad (ΔΟΥ Κατοίκων Εξωτερικού) for tax registry Greece.
Attention! As a taxpayer residing abroad, if you have never submitted the related application forms and continue to show in the authorities’ registry as a resident of Greece, you could face unpleasant surprises!
Update your file: Based on income tax law, all those (unless extenuating situations are met) who reside abroad more than 183 days, are taxed in Greece only for income acquired in this country, and not for their global income. On the contrary, a resident abroad who owns a secondary property, a passenger automobile or wants to purchase such assets in Greece, is not obliged to file income taxes in Greece.
Tax Residency: Whether you used to live in Greece or are a permanent resident abroad planning some form of activity in Greece, your tax residency must be registered at the appropriate tax office. For all the above to be valid, one basic prerequisite is to have declared at the registry, the address and country where you now live in. Also, you must have appointed in Greece a tax representative, preferably a provider, who will be in direct contact with the authorities and of course is a resident of Greece.
In the context of servicing your tax registry related matters, we undertake the following as well:
- Issuance of Unique Key Number (Κλειδάριθμος) and set up of your online access
- Submit changes of your personal data
- Declare taxpayer relationships (spouse, widow, common law etc.)

- Declare a death
