In Greece, married taxpayers have a deadline until March 2 to request the submission of separate tax declarations through the electronic platform of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE). This option allows couples to file individually if at least one spouse makes the request, which then becomes compulsory for the other spouse as well, making it a significant consideration for couples who may wish to separate their financial responsibilities.

The submission must be completed via a special online application found on the AADE website. Taxpayers or authorized tax accountants can access the platform with their personal credentials and must navigate through several steps to successfully submit their separate declaration. This indicates a structured approach to make tax processes more accessible to individuals who want to differentiate their tax situations from their spouses.

Crucially, those who opted for separate declarations in the previous year do not need to re-initiate the process as long as their marital status remains the same and they still wish to continue with this option. This facilitates the continuity of financial arrangements for couples and underscores the importance of timely action regarding tax obligations in Greece, especially for those considering or desiring greater financial independence from their spouses.
