Greece will extend a 30% taxable income deduction on selected electronic payments through 2027, capped at €5,000 a year. The measure covers specific services rather than all card spending.
Eligible expenses include home repairs and maintenance, plumbing and electrical work, cleaning and domestic help, taxi fares, veterinary services, hairdressing, gym memberships, dance classes, childcare and elderly care, legal services (excluding accounting), and funeral services.
The draft legislation, which implements measures announced at the Thessaloniki International Fair and is now under public consultation, also raises the annual tax-free threshold for voluntary tips to €6,000. The exemption applies to employees and to qualifying self-employed delivery or transport workers on digital platforms, provided the tips relate to platform transactions and are not part of fixed pay.
In addition, the bill clarifies the ENFIA property tax exemption for main residences in smaller communities. From 2027, Greek tax residents can claim the exemption on a main residence valued up to €400,000 in settlements of up to 2,000 residents (2,200 in Western Macedonia). Eligibility will be verified through the Property Ownership and Management Register (MIDA), using the latest census data. Settlements in Attica are excluded, except those in the Regional Unit of Islands.
