VAT registration in Greece for your online store
VAT registration in Greece, returns filed in Greece and reconciliation with your accounts in Spain. Fiscal representative, EORI and EPR when needed.
In short
To sell from stock in Greece you need a VAT number in Greece and you must file your returns there. The service includes registration and tax compliance in Greece: periodic returns, EC sales lists, Intrastat and whatever its authority requires.
Standard VAT rate in Greece: 24% (reduced: 13% and 6%). Greece applies reduced rates on some islands and requires a monthly EC sales list even though the VAT return is quarterly.
When you need a VAT number in Greece
If you are in any of these situations, you need to register before the first sale:
- You hold goods in Greece: your own warehouse, a logistics provider or Amazon FBA, and sell from there to customers in that country.
- You buy in Greece and resell within the country, without the goods leaving.
- You import from outside the EU with customs clearance in Greece in your own name.
- You prefer not to use OSS for distance sales and to file in each country (unusual, but possible).
- You sell to businesses in that country with local delivery from your stock there.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need a Greek VAT number?
If you hold stock in Greece and sell from there, or if you buy and resell within the country.
Can I declare sales from my stock in Greece through OSS?
Not if the customer is in that same country: it is a domestic sale and is declared there with the local VAT number.
I've been selling in Greece for a while without a VAT number. What do I do?
Regularise it as soon as possible: the registration, the late returns and the replies to tax demands are filed. The longer you wait, the higher the surcharges; and marketplaces end up pulling your stock.
Do you also keep the accounts in Spain?
Yes. Your store's accounting and taxes in Spain and the tax compliance in Greece go through the same point of contact, so what is declared in both countries reconciles.
