Introduction: Understanding Tax Cancellation in Greece
Greek expatriates living in the U.S. often face unexpected tax liabilities and penalties in Greece.

However, Greek law provides solutions for reducing or canceling these obligations under specific conditions.
At E CHATZIDIMITRIOU LLC, we specialize in tax law in Greece, assisting Greek-Americans in resolving tax disputes, applying for tax reductions, and appealing unfair fines. Whether you need to cancel tax debts or correct tax records, our legal team ensures a hassle-free process.

H2: Common Reasons for Tax Penalties in Greece
The Greek Tax Authority (AADE) imposes penalties for various reasons, including:
✅ Unpaid income tax – Late tax declarations can result in interest and fines.
✅ Property tax (ENFIA) penalties – Incorrect property valuations or late payments can lead to additional charges.
✅ VAT fines – Business owners and self-employed individuals may face heavy penalties for missing VAT filings.
✅ Inheritance tax issues – Failing to declare inherited property or miscalculating taxable amounts can result in large fines.
✅ Incorrect tax residency status – Many Greek-Americans are wrongly classified as Greek tax residents, leading to excessive taxation.
H2: Legal Methods to Cancel or Reduce Tax Penalties in Greece
Greek law allows taxpayers to challenge and reduce tax penalties through legal appeals, tax amnesty programs, and administrative corrections. Our law firm handles:
1. Filing an Appeal with the Greek Tax Authority
•Taxpayers have the right to contest incorrect tax assessments or unfair penalties.
•Appeals must be filed within 30 days of receiving a tax notice.
•A well-prepared legal argument can lead to full or partial cancellation of the tax debt.
2. Requesting a Tax Amnesty or Settlement Plan
•Greece periodically offers tax amnesty programs, allowing debt reductions.
•Taxpayers may request installment payment plans with lower interest rates.
3. Correcting Tax Records and Residency Status
•If a taxpayer is wrongly classified as a Greek tax resident, an appeal can correct the status and remove unnecessary tax burdens.
•Errors in property tax calculations or inheritance declarations can be corrected, leading to lower tax obligations.
