From 1 January 2026, salaries, pensions and self-employment income are taxed under a new progressive scale ranging from 9% to 44%, with changes for some income levels and families with children. The source also describes special regimes for new tax residents, including a flat-tax option for investors and relief for certain inbound residents.
According to the source, the tax consequences for newcomers now depend both on residence status and on the new scale applying to employment, pension and self-employment income. For someone relocating to Greece, this affects net-income calculations and the choice between the standard system and special programmes for investors, pensioners or other new residents. Spending more than 183 days in Greece or moving one’s centre of vital interests there may also trigger worldwide-income taxation. This is worth attention for anyone planning to work, run a business or receive a pension in Greece before selecting a relocation and tax structure.
