This year, more than 8 million taxpayers in Greece are called to exercise caution while completing their tax returns, particularly when it comes to new codes mandated by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE). To minimize their tax liability or to avoid additional burdens, taxpayers should meticulously verify their income, expenses, dependent children, students, and donations reflected in the E1 form before submission. The AADE offers a comprehensive guide that highlights critical areas of focus for taxpayers, such as property declaration, management of pre-filled data, and considerations surrounding gifts and retroactive income.

The AADE's guide outlines specific instructions, including how to accurately fill out fields regarding home ownership and rental properties. Taxpayers are advised to scrutinize reported income and ensure that details about dependent children and any claims regarding the minimum net income are correctly addressed. There are also important notes on deductions related to tax payments, ensuring taxpayers are well-prepared and informed about possible deductions and credits that could reduce their taxable amount.

Overall, the guidance aims to streamline the tax filing process and minimize errors that could lead to financial penalties for taxpayers. By following the AADE’s recommendations, individuals can ensure compliance with tax regulations while also taking advantage of available benefits, ultimately fostering a more efficient and fair taxation process as Greece navigates its fiscal landscape.
