For International Residents
Every Greek taxpayer and citizen of another country (EU or third country) with rights and obligations related to the Greek tax administration, is required to obtain a Greek Tax Identification Number (in short, a Tax Identification Number).
More specifically, in case a foreign resident (Greek or not) wishes to make a transaction such as purchase, sale, other investment, lease, or start a business activity, etc., a valid VAT number will be requested. This number is unique for each natural person and is necessary for transactions with public and other entities.
The VAT number is issued by the person concerned before carrying out any transaction in Greece (such as buying property, renting property, etc.) as it is a prerequisite for carrying out such transactions.
Greek VAT number is required for Greek citizens, EU citizens and citizens of third countries with activities, transactions, rights and obligations in Greece.
