The platform for tax declarations in Greece, managed by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), opens today, February 16, and will remain accessible until July 15, 2026. Taxpayers are urged to carefully review the codes on the E1 form that pertain to incomes, expenses, dependents, students, hosts, insurance contributions, and donations. This thorough check can help individuals limit their final tax amount or avoid additional burdens.

This year, approximately 6.8 million tax declarations are expected to be submitted, representing around 9 million individuals. The article highlights essential areas taxpayers should focus on before submitting their declarations. One specific point of interest is the treatment of presumed expenses for self-employed individuals. Codes 045–046 are activated for new mothers engaged in professional activities, granting them exemptions from certain presumptions for the year of childbirth and the following two years. This shows the government's intent to support working mothers by alleviating some tax pressures related to their business activities.

As taxpayers prepare to navigate the online platform and submit their declarations, they should take heed of these critical areas to optimize their tax filings. With the current climate encouraging compliance and efficiency in tax reporting, these guidelines aim to assist millions of taxpayers in Greece in managing their obligations effectively while also benefiting from potential deductions and allowances.
