Tax residency

183 days
Residency rules
Tax resident if present in Greece for more than 183 days in any 12-month period or if Greece is the centre of vital interests (permanent home, family and economic ties). Treaty tie-breakers apply where relevant.
Exit tax
No
CFC rules
Yes Undistributed income of a >50%-controlled foreign entity is attributed when foreign tax paid is less than half the Greek tax that would apply and more than 30% of profits are passive-type income, with an EU/EEA substance exception.
Non-dom regime
Article 5A offers alternative lump-sum taxation of foreign-source income (EUR 100,000 per year for 15 years) for qualifying investors. Article 5B taxes aggregate foreign-source income at 7% for pensioners. Article 5C exempts 50% of Greek employment and business income for seven years.
Nomad regime
The digital nomad residence permit does not by itself grant a special tax status. Remote workers who become Greek tax residents are taxed on worldwide income unless they elect an inbound regime (notably Article 5C for qualifying Greek employment or business income).
