It has just been announced by the Greek Tax Authorities that persons who reside outside Greece and who do not receive any income in Greece or from Greek sources will not be required to submit income tax declarations for the year 2014.

This means that persons who do not receive income from rental of Greek property or pensions from a Greek pension fund and do not receive interest from bank accounts (to name a few sources of income) will not be required to submit a tax declaration this year, even if that person owns real estate and/or vehicles in Greece.

Just for the record, people must still submit E-9 property declarations to the Greek Tax Authorities if their Greek property holdings change in any way.
