Greek authorities have postponed the mandatory B2B e‑invoicing go‑live to 2 March 2026, with a two‑month soft‑launch ending in early May. The first wave targets resident large businesses (turnover €1 million+) and covers domestic B2B supplies and exports outside the EU, while EU B2B remains optional. Penalties for non‑compliance include VAT‑based fines and fixed €500/€1,000 penalties, and businesses must submit a commencement declaration to AADE before issuing e‑invoices.
On 2 March 2026, large resident businesses with a turnover of €1 million or more must begin issuing structured e‑invoices.
Non‑compliance triggers administrative fines calculated as a percentage of the VAT amount for VATable transactions, and fixed €500 or €1,000 penalties for non‑VAT transactions depending on the accounting system classification.
Businesses must submit a commencement declaration to AADE confirming electronic issuance or use of the government tool before they can issue e‑invoices.
The soft‑launch window runs from 2 March 2026 to early May 2026, with onboarding expected to be complete by early May.
