Highest Income Tax Bracket: 44% on employment, pension and business income above 60,000 euro. From 40,000 euro to 60,000 euro the rate is 39%. 7
VAT: From 1 January 2026 the national rates of 24%, 13% and 6% are cut by 30% on North Aegean islands with up to 20,000 residents. Ikaria is in that region and the 2021 census is 8,843, so the island rates are 17%, 9% and 4%. Tobacco and means of transport stay at the national rates. 6 11 12 13
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules: Yes. Undistributed income of a foreign company is taxed to a Greek resident who, with related persons, owns more than 50%, when the foreign tax is under half the Greek tax and more than 30% of the profit is passive.

Articles 5A and 5B are for high-net-worth foreign income and for foreign pensions. The Greece tax profile records Article 5C as a 50% exemption for seven years on Greek employment and business income, not on foreign remote-work income. 20
