< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Greece has introduced e-invoicing as part of its national strategy to modernize financial reporting, enhance tax transparency, and combat fraud. The government has mandated e-invoicing for public sector transactions and has introduced phased B2B requirements through its myDATA platform.
Greece’s e-invoicing framework is designed to integrate seamlessly with the national tax system, allowing for real-time reporting and validation of invoices. The transition to digital invoicing is expected to reduce errors, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with European financial regulations.
