Tax profile

What makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.

• Presence in Greece for more than 183 days in aggregate during any 12‑month period
• Centre of vital interests (personal, family, economic and social ties) located in Greece, assessed holistically when day‑count is not decisive
• Formal registration / classification as Greek tax resident in the AADE system until tax residence is officially transferred abroad

Ending Greek tax residency requires not only leaving and staying abroad more than 183 days but also formally transferring tax residence and proving that the centre of vital interests is outside Greece, so it is an administrative and evidential process rather than automatic.
