As tax season approaches in Greece, employers and other obligated parties are facing a tight deadline to submit income certificates to the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE). The deadline at the end of February is crucial for initiating the pre-filling of tax returns, which is expected to facilitate the filing process for taxpayers. The electronic platform for submitting income returns for 2025 is set to open on March 16, with projections indicating that over 1.5 million pre-filled returns will be submitted by employees and pensioners this year.

This pre-filling process significantly eases the burden on taxpayers; however, it also necessitates careful scrutiny of the details provided to prevent mistakes that could lead to penalties. Taxpayers are advised to verify the information in their pre-filled returns to ensure accuracy. In cases where errors or omissions are detected, it is important for taxpayers to either contact the relevant authorities for corrections or submit a modified return. Ensuring that the information is accurate can help in avoiding unnecessary complications during the filing process.

As the deadline draws nearer, it will be essential for taxpayers to remain vigilant and proactive regarding their tax returns to ensure a smooth filing experience and prevent any unforeseen issues from arising.
