Accountants & Tax Advisers

A practical starting point for international buyers, owners, investors, retirees, expats, and people relocating to Greece who need to understand where accounting or tax support may fit. Use this page to frame the questions, check the scope of a provider's work, and separate provider-declared capabilities from independently reviewed records.

    Greek-source income, reporting, treaties, and coordination with advisers abroad.

When this category may help

An accountant or tax adviser may be worth considering before or during a Greek property journey if one or more of these questions applies:

  • Tax residence. You are moving to Greece, spending substantial time there, or need to understand how your residence status may interact with Greek filings.
  • Property ownership. You need help thinking through AFM, myAADE, ENFIA, transfer-related tax steps, or recurring ownership obligations.
  • Rental income. The property will be let long-term or short-term and you need to understand Greek declarations, records, and deadlines.
  • Greek-source income. You receive rent or another form of income connected with Greece while living elsewhere.
  • Cross-border reporting. You need Greek records coordinated with a tax adviser in your home country, including questions about any applicable double-tax agreement.
  • Relocation or ownership structures. You are comparing personal ownership with another structure or need to understand the tax questions to take to specialist advisers before acting.

The same label can cover very different work. One provider may focus on annual Greek filings; another may work with non-residents or coordinate with advisers abroad. Ask for the exact deliverables rather than relying on a general description.

What to check before appointing anyone

  1. Ask what is actually included. Separate one-off setup work from recurring filings, bookkeeping, declarations, and correspondence with AADE.
  2. Check the professional basis. Ask for the applicable Economic Chamber registration or profession information and confirm what it covers. Do not treat an AFM, a business registration, or a website description as proof of tax-adviser qualifications.
  3. Be precise about borders. Ask whether the provider gives Greek advice only, coordinates with your home-country adviser, or claims to advise under another country's rules. Those are different services.
  4. Set ownership assumptions out in writing. Personal ownership, co-ownership, a company, and other structures can raise different questions. Get specialist advice before transferring title or creating a structure for tax reasons.
  5. Agree the paper trail. Confirm the documents you must provide, filing deadlines, written confirmations, access arrangements, fees, VAT, and who remains responsible for checking the final submission.
  6. Keep independent review. If the provider is introduced through an agent, manager, seller, or another commercial party, understand that relationship and keep your own lawyer and home-country adviser involved where appropriate.

Verification and disclosure

Public profiles are shown only for active providers that meet the publication rules in our verification standard. The label on a profile says what GreekProperty.org reviewed and when; it is not a recommendation, endorsement, quality assessment, tax opinion, or guarantee. Business registration review and applicable professional registration review are separate factual checks.

Services, languages, international-client support, remote consultations, cross-border coordination, and ownership-structure experience may be provider-declared. Check the scope directly before appointing anyone. If an introduction or other commercial relationship exists, it is governed by our Professionals Disclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an accountant or tax adviser to buy property in Greece?

Not every buyer needs ongoing accounting support, and the answer depends on your tax residence, property use, income, ownership structure, and the filings that apply to you. A conversation may be useful before you commit if you are non-resident, expect rental income, are relocating, or need to coordinate Greek and home-country reporting.

Is owning a Greek property the same as becoming a Greek tax resident?

No. Owning property and holding an AFM do not by themselves establish Greek tax residence. AADE describes residence using criteria including the centre of vital interests and presence in Greece for more than 183 days in a relevant twelve-month period. Your circumstances and any applicable treaty should be reviewed with a qualified adviser.

Can a Greek accountant handle my home-country taxes too?

Some providers may coordinate with an adviser in your home country, while others may only handle Greek matters. Do not assume that a provider can give advice under another country's law or prepare its filings. Ask exactly what the engagement covers and who is responsible for each country's reporting.

What should I ask about rental-income support?

Ask whether the provider handles AFM/myAADE matters, long-term lease declarations, short-term rental reporting, annual returns, and communication with any home-country adviser. Confirm the property and income assumptions, deadlines, fees, VAT, document process, and what remains your responsibility.

Does GreekProperty.org recommend the professionals listed here?

No. A public profile means the provider has passed the applicable review checks shown on the profile, not that GreekProperty.org has assessed the provider's quality, suitability, fees, or tax advice. Provider-declared services and cross-border capabilities remain claims to check for yourself.

Needs verification before you rely on it

We deliberately avoid stating the following as fixed facts, because they change with policy or depend on your circumstances. Confirm the current details from official sources.

  • • Whether the provider's current Economic Chamber registration or profession declaration is applicable to the work you want them to perform.
  • • Whether the person or firm you would contract with is the same entity whose registration and credentials you have reviewed.
  • • Whether the provider actually handles your tax-residence, rental-income, AFM/myAADE, ownership-structure, or relocation questions, rather than only general bookkeeping.
  • • Whether cross-border coordination is limited to working with your home-country adviser or includes advice the provider is legally able to give in that country.
  • • The engagement letter, scope, deadlines, fees, VAT, documents, communications, and responsibility for final filings.
