myDATA: Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them
The myDATA platform has become part of everyday operations for every business in Athens and beyond. However, the most common issues arise in the transmission of invoices, the classification of income and expenses, and discrepancies between accounting records and the platform. Incorrect categorization, delayed submissions, or improperly uploaded documents can create issues in VAT reconciliation and tax reporting obligations, especially as deadlines approach.
E1: What to Check Before Submission
The E1 tax return is one of the most important obligations for every taxpayer. Proper preparation before submission can significantly impact the final outcome. Before finalizing the declaration, it is essential to review income, imputed income criteria, expenses, withholdings, and pre-filled data provided by the tax authority (AADE), in order to avoid errors that may lead to unfair taxation or the need for amended returns.
E9: When to Submit an Amendment
The E9 form relates to real estate ownership and must be accurately maintained, as it directly affects the calculation of property-related taxes. An amended E9 declaration is required whenever there is a change in property status, such as purchase, sale, parental transfer, inheritance, correction of square meters, changes in ownership percentages, or updates to property details that must be properly recorded with the tax authority.
Debt Settlement with the Tax Authority (AADE): Available Options
Debt settlement arrangements with the tax authority (AADE) are an important solution for individuals and businesses seeking to regularize their liabilities in an organized manner and restore tax compliance. The available options depend on the type of debt, whether it is ordinary or extraordinary, as well as the stage of the liability. Choosing the right arrangement helps avoid surcharges, enforcement measures, and additional financial burdens.
ERGANI: What Employers Must Declare and When
The ERGANI system is a key tool for every employer, as it is used to report critical employment-related changes and employee data. Employers are required to declare hires, terminations, changes in working hours, overtime, contracts, and any action that affects the employment relationship, within specific deadlines set by labor regulations.
Single-Entry or Double-Entry Accounting: What’s the Best Choice?
The choice between single-entry and double-entry bookkeeping affects how a business operates, organizes its financial data, and complies with tax obligations. Single-entry systems are generally simpler to manage, while double-entry systems provide a more comprehensive view of the company’s financial position. The right choice depends on turnover, business activity, and operational requirements.
VAT: Key Obligations for Businesses
VAT is one of the most important and demanding obligations for any business, as it directly affects liquidity and daily operations. Businesses must issue invoices correctly, apply the appropriate VAT rate, meet deadlines, and submit returns on time in order to avoid penalties, surcharges, or tax discrepancies.
Non-Residents: What Applies to Property in Greece
Non-resident individuals who own property in Greece have specific tax obligations, especially when income is generated from rentals or when there are changes in their property status. Proper declaration of real estate, timely submission of relevant tax forms, and maintaining an accurate tax profile are essential to avoid issues with the Greek tax authority (AADE) and ensure full compliance.
Business Plan: What Should It Include?
A well-structured business plan is not just a document, but a practical roadmap that demonstrates how a business idea can become viable and profitable. It includes market analysis, a description of products/services, objectives, growth strategy, competition, an operational plan, and most importantly financial data such as projections, costs, and revenue planning.
