On 25 February 2025, the Council of the European Union published a decision allowing Greece to implement mandatory e-invoicing for transactions between taxable persons established in Greece.
What does this mean for businesses?
Starting from 1 July 2025, businesses in Greece must adopt e-invoicing for their B2B transactions. This new regulation will remain in effect until 31 December 2027. The move aims to streamline tax reporting, improve compliance, and enhance transaction transparency.
This development follows Greece’s ongoing efforts to digitize tax and trade processes. For more background, read our earlier insights on EU support for Greece’s transition to e-invoicing and Greece’s digital tracking of goods.

Greek businesses should begin assessing their current invoicing systems to ensure they align with e-Invoicing requirements. Key steps include:
- Reviewing existing financial systems and software.
- Consulting with financial advisors or tax professionals to understand compliance needs.
- Exploring certified e-Invoicing platforms to integrate into business processes.
- Training staff on new invoicing practices.
Next steps
Companies operating in Greece should prioritize preparing for this change to avoid potential disruptions. For more details on the Council’s decision, you can access the full document here.
