## How VAT Applies to Digital Goods

The **standard VAT rate** in Greece is **24%**. The registration threshold for non-resident digital sellers is **EUR 0 (non-EU)** (EUR).

Greece taxes most digital services sold to consumers at the standard 24% rate, including SaaS subscriptions, digital access products, downloadable software, and online memberships. B2C taxation follows EU destination rules, while many B2B cross-border digital services can use reverse charge when buyer tax status is validated correctly. Clear product classification is important where merchants sell bundles of software plus service components.

Greek VAT compliance has become more data-driven, so transaction-level evidence should be complete from checkout onward. Delayed buyer classification or missing location evidence is a common reason for backdated corrections in fast-scaling subscription businesses.

## Registration Requirements

Foreign non-EU sellers should be registered before first taxable Greek B2C digital sales. Most cross-border digital merchants use non-Union OSS for EU simplification, while local registration in Greece can be appropriate for specific domestic obligations. The authority is **AADE (Independent Authority for Public Revenue)**.

The local VAT identifier is the **EL VAT number** format. Integrate this format into B2B validation and invoicing so reverse-charge decisions are supportable. Teams should reserve enough lead time for registration, account setup, and tax-control testing before launch.

## Filing and Compliance

Local VAT filing in Greece is commonly **monthly** for many VAT-registered profiles. A key modern requirement is **myDATA** e-reporting, where invoice and accounting data submissions need consistent structure and timing. OSS returns for eligible cross-border B2C digital services remain quarterly, but they still depend on country-level source records.

Maintain records, invoices, and evidence for at least **5 years** (often longer under internal policy). Month-end controls should reconcile VAT by reporting period and ensure correction events are traceable to original transactions.
