This deviation from EU Directive 2006/112/EC allows Greece to implement a structured e-invoicing system for businesses.
Key Provisions of the EU Authorization
Under the approved framework, Greece is authorized to:
- Mandate e-invoicing for all business-to-business (B2B) transactions between taxable persons within Greece.
- Require e-invoicing without prior acceptance from the recipient.
- Report implementation measures to the European Commission (EC).
The authorization applies from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027, and takes effect upon notification.
Impact on Greek Businesses
This decision establishes a legal framework for mandatory digital invoicing, streamlining tax compliance and enhancing transparency within Greece’s tax system. Businesses must ensure readiness by adopting compatible e-invoicing software that complies with the new regulations.
