Description

This procedure describes the actions required for service providers/legal entities, which are not established in Greece, to start operating via simultaneously attributing a Tax Registration Number (AFM) by the tax administration (local tax authorities – DOY).

The attribution of AFM and registration in the tax register is mandatory for every person (natural or legal or legal entity, according to article 3 of the Code of Tax Procedure, Law 4174/2013 (Government Gazette 170 / AD), domestic or foreign, who will be liable to pay or withhold tax in accordance with tax legislation or to submit any declaration that falls within the scope of the Code, regardless of the number of facilities (branches, offices, warehouses) available inside and outside Greece.
