Tax Guide July 2019
Tax Guide July 2019
Consistent with our commitment to provide updated information on current tax issues, you may find below a list of filing obligations for the forthcoming period. We emphasize that this is not a comprehensive list, but rather a list of the most common tax filing obligations.
Withholding Tax
Taxes withheld in May
By 31 July
- Submission of tax returns for taxes withheld on the following sources of income:
- Dividends
- Interest
- Royalties, if the recipient is an individual or a non-resident entity with no permanent establishment in Greece.
In order for reduced withholding rates pursuant to the Tax Treaties for the avoidance of double taxation to be applied, the foreign beneficiary of the income must provide the relevant tax residence certificate.
Respectively, in order to apply the provisions of the European Directives, as adopted by local provisions, and for nil tax to be withheld on income arising for non residents for dividends, interest and royalties, a nil withholding tax return must be filed. The relevant tax residence certificate should be duly drafted upon submission.
- Submission of the withholding tax return and remittance of tax withheld in the following cases:
- Salaries
- Solidarity tax
- Board of Directors fees
- Employment severance payments
- Fees for technical services, administration and consulting fees, when the beneficiary of the income is an individual or is a non-EU resident entity.
Other deadlines
- Direct electronic filing with the Bank of Greece of transactions effected within June (collections and payments of any nature) between legal entities operating in Greece and non-residents.
