Greece has introduced a three-layer digital tax framework that combines real‑time reporting via myDATA, a structured B2B e‑invoicing mandate, and an e‑transport system for goods movement. The B2B e‑invoicing requirement becomes mandatory on March 2 2026 for firms with revenue above €1 million and on October 1 2026 for all other businesses, while myDATA has been compulsory since 2021. Early adopters receive significant tax incentives, and non‑compliance triggers steep penalties.

Greek authorities have postponed the mandatory B2B e‑invoicing go‑live to 2 March 2026, with a two‑month soft‑launch ending in early May.

Penalties for non‑compliance include VAT‑based fines and fixed €500/€1,000 penalties, and businesses must submit a commencement declaration to AADE before issuing e‑invoices.
