Greek tax administration reforms and restructuring

Overview

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) has engaged in both international knowledge sharing and domestic structural changes. In October 2026, AADE Governor Giorgos Pitsilis presented Greece’s digital transformation and tax administration models at an IMF workshop in Pakistan, emphasizing the importance of functional independence and digital tools like the myDATA platform.

Concurrently, the AADE announced plans to restructure tax services in the Aetolia-Acarnania region. The proposal seeks to centralize authority by creating seven new Tax Centers, which would involve downgrading the administrative status of the Agrinio and Messolonghi tax offices. This move has faced criticism from local representatives and the Association of Tax Officers, who argue that centralization ignores regional demographic challenges and could disrupt local business operations.
