Greek Non-Dom Tax Regime
The new article 5A of the Greek Income Tax Code (Law 4172/2014), as amended, introduces a flat tax rate of €100,000 annually on worldwide income for a period of 15 years for individuals who transfer their tax residence in Greece. The legal entities are exempted from the scope of this legislation.
Under specific conditions, this alternative tax regime provides the Non-Dom tax resident with the right to pay a total amount of 100.000 € per year for any income arising outside the country, irrespective of its sum, and be discharged of any tax liability for this year.
This status is also applicable to relatives of a non-dom Greek tax resident, on the premises that the latter pays an extra tax of 20.000€ per individual.
The “non-dom” regime can last for a maximum of 15 years and can be terminated any time during these years, in case the non-dom tax residents fail to fulfil their obligations or apply for revocation.
