Fiscal Representation

VAT representation for cross-border operations.

shape

Greece’s fiscal-representation framework, aligned with leading EU member-state practice within supply-chain management, allows companies registered in another EU member state or in a third country to authorize a fiscal representative to protect their fiscal obligations in Greek territory. When the representative is included in the invoicing documentation and goods are received within a fiscal-representative warehouse, the consignee limits VAT liabilities, avoids difficult export-evidence procedures, and bypasses much of the customs intricacy that would otherwise apply.

What we manage on your behalf.

  • Implement the appropriate VAT procedures for your cross-border operations

When fiscal representation makes sense.

Fiscal representation is typically appropriate for:

  • Non-EU companies storing, processing, or transiting goods through Greece
  • EU companies operating into Greece without establishing a Greek VAT registration
  • Cargo owners receiving goods at a Karlos fiscal-representative warehouse
  • Operations involving customs procedure 42 (import with onward intra-EU supply)
