How this is calculated
- Choose whether to add VAT (FPA) to a net amount or remove it from a VAT-inclusive gross amount.
- To add VAT: multiply the net by 1 plus the rate (x1.24 for the 24% standard rate). To remove VAT: divide the gross by 1 plus the rate.
- Select the mainland Greek rate: 24% standard, 13% reduced or 6% super-reduced.
FAQ
What are Greece's VAT rates in 2026?
Mainland Greece applies a standard rate of 24%, a reduced rate of 13% (covering, for example, most food and certain services) and a super-reduced rate of 6% (such as books, medicines and theatre tickets). Certain Aegean islands apply lower rates.
Which rate applies to my goods or services?
The 6% and 13% reduced rates apply to specific categories listed in the VAT Code; everything else is standard-rated at 24%. Because classifications change, confirm the correct rate for your item with AADE before relying on it.
When must a business register for VAT in Greece?
Greece does not operate a general domestic turnover threshold in the way some countries do; most businesses making taxable supplies must register. A small-business exemption and the EU One-Stop-Shop (OSS) scheme may apply in specific cases. Check the current rules with AADE.
