In Greece, the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) is set to begin the pre-filling process for tax returns once employers submit their salary certifications by Friday, the 27th of this month. This submission is not merely a formality, but rather a crucial step that allows the tax return submission period to proceed smoothly without delays. Timely submissions are essential for ensuring that taxpayers can complete their filings on schedule.

Married taxpayers who wish to file separate tax returns must notify the AADE by March 2 through their electronic platform, www.aade.gr. They can do this either individually or via a specially authorized tax accountant who will use their personal access codes. This stipulation facilitates better organization for married taxpayers and ensures that those choosing to file separately can maintain that preference in their tax filings.

For taxpayers who opted for separate returns in the previous year and wish to continue with this choice, no further notification is necessary unless their marital status has changed. This continued allowance underscores the flexibility within the Greek tax system, helping taxpayers navigate their tax obligations based on their personal circumstances without repetitive processes each tax season.
