When activating new electronic serviceswhich will make life easier for taxpayers and which will be put into operation within a year, AADE. The truth is that every year the tax administration activates dozens of applications that make life easier for taxpayers, as well as for auditors who have detailed information about each taxpayer and business on their tablet when conducting audits. AADE plans for 2023 include:

1. An automated system has been put in place that notifies taxpayers who are at risk of missing an adjustment. By design, the system will alert any taxpayer with a valid installment agreement when an installment payment date is approaching.

2. Automatic tax refund activated. This year, revenues, according to the budget, will exceed 6.110 billion euros. 95% of VAT refund requests will be processed within 90 days using the golden list for express VAT refunds. This list refers to those businesses that are “clean” with no violations and that will receive VAT refunds directly into their accounts without any checks.

3. Full automation of the process of crediting overpayments to taxpayers’ accounts or offsetting them with their other debts without the intervention of any administrative process.

4. Digital version of tax information in cases of debt with withholding. Taxpayers who want to receive money, transfer real estate or change property rights will be able to file a relevant application with the tax office from their computer and receive tax information without hassle and in a timely manner. In the event of debts, incremental interest will be deducted from the money collected by the taxpayer or from the price in the event of the transfer of property.

5. Under the tax administration’s plan, taxpayers will be able to pay taxes, duties and fees with foreign cards. The tender for the supply of a system for accepting foreign cards in the EFT / POS network of AADE is already “underway”, and by the end of the year the project is expected to start working. The measure will make life easier for thousands of citizens, since, according to reports, every year foreigners who pay taxes in Greece conduct a total of more than 150,000 transactions with the tax office. Paying taxes with foreign cards will help Greeks living abroad who wish to pay off tax debts in our country, for example, to pay taxes on real estate or movable property that they have inherited in Greece.

6. Digitization of the process of providing benefits for paying for traffic to disabled people.

7. Automatic update of the property data declaration (E9) for all declarations filed through myProperty.

8. Development of an electronic application for manually issued ENFIA certificates (other cases – except for the ENFIA certificate after verification).

9. Digitization of the tax register so that a large amount of declarations and obligations can be made remotely without visiting the DOU, for example: termination of a business or profession, inclusion or exclusion from the special status of farmers, valid registration certificates (and with QR code integration), additional services of my AADelive through video call, etc.

10. Development of an application for mobile devices to access AADE services. In fact, in your mobile phone, in a special application that will soon work, all taxpayers will have … a tax office. The new AADE app will allow taxpayers to see their tax picture, pay their debts, and receive updates and personalized notifications of upcoming obligations.
