1. Workers and pensioners who received retro payments.
Citizens who received income related to previous years in 2024 are required to submit corrective declarations for each relevant period through the myAADE platform by December 31, 2025. After filing, a new notification is generated, and the tax is paid in a lump sum until the end of January 2025.
2. Covering “tekmirio” – living expenses and acquisition of property.
Monetary gifts from parents may be used to cover testing costs for 2025. Such declarations are submitted through the myProperty platform until the end of December 2025.
3. Responsibilities of heirs for those who died in 2024.
Heirs must file the deceased’s income tax returns manually with the competent tax authorities or KEFODE. Submission is allowed through an application “Τα Αιτήματά μου”, by mail or through a protocol.
4. Declarations for those who have changed their tax residence.
Citizens who moved their tax residence abroad in 2024 are required to submit a corresponding application by the end of 2025.
