Greece outlines tax‑cut proposals for 90th fiscal protocol and new myDATA rules for agri‑product tracking

The Hellenic Confederation of Enterprises (ESEE) submitted a set of proposals to the government ahead of the 90th fiscal protocol (ΔΕΘ). Key demands include permanent tax relief for retail, abolition of the professional fee, reduction of the advance‑income‑tax rate to 55 %, cuts to employer social‑security contributions, and measures to lower energy costs and improve financing for digital, AI and green‑transition investments. ESEE President Stavros Kafounis said Greek trade seeks “a fair, stable and development‑oriented tax and insurance framework” rather than preferential treatment.

Separately, the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) issued clarifications on the digital monitoring of agricultural product movements via the myDATA platform. The guidance defines exemptions for farmers under a special VAT regime, introduces a “reverse movement” label to relieve producers from issuing digital shipping notes, sets a 10‑kilometre distance threshold for non‑digital documentation, and outlines new deadlines for electronic documents for olive oil producers and for shipments to folk markets, effective from 12 October 2026.

Both measures aim to reduce administrative burdens and stimulate investment across Greece’s business and agricultural sectors.
