Greece taxes an individual on at least the income their lifestyle implies. The law calls it "alternative minimum taxation" (εναλλακτική ελάχιστη φορολογία). Homes, cars, boats, staff, school fees and asset purchases each carry a deemed annual expense. If the total is higher than declared income, the difference is added to taxable income and taxed (art. 30(1) ΚΦΕ). This skill computes that difference. It links to the pack's other skills instead of repeating them:
gr-income-taxgr-cross-bordergr-efkaThe law is the Income Tax Code (Κώδικας Φορολογίας Εισοδήματος, ΚΦΕ, ν. 4172/2013), arts. 30 to 34, read in the Ministry of Finance codification up to ν. 5264/2025. ν. 5246/2025 art. 7 cut the home, car and boat amounts, ended the minimum expense for dependent children with their own income, and cut the deemed expense for zero-emission cars over EUR 50,000 from EUR 4,000 to EUR 2,000. These changes apply from tax year 2025 (ν. 5246/2025 art. 47(2)), so they apply to 2026. AADE circular Ο.3068/2025 gives notice of them. The tax year is the calendar year.
gr-income-tax) is a separate presumption. On our reading of arts. 7 and 30(3), where it applies, the art. 28A amount is the business income in total income for this comparison, not the lower profit (see "Not yet confirmed").Out of scope of the presumptions altogether (art. 30(4)): foreign diplomats and consular staff who are nationals of the sending state with a diplomatic passport, and staff of EU institutions and international organisations based in Greece under a treaty.
"Codification" is the Ministry of Finance codification of ν. 4172/2013 up to ν. 5264/2025, linked under the table and in Sources. All amounts apply from tax year 2025, so to 2026.

Codification: Income Tax Code, Ministry of Finance codification up to ν. 5264/2025
Step 1: annual deemed expense (art. 31). Add the amounts in the table for each home, car, boat, aircraft, pool, school and staff member of the taxpayer, spouse and dependants. The main home counts whether owned, rented or given free. The m² bands apply to main space (κύριοι χώροι); auxiliary space has its own rate. The total is never below the minimum living expense of EUR 3,000 (single) or EUR 5,000 (joint return) when real or deemed income is declared (art. 31(1)(θ)).
Car rules (art. 31(1)(γ)): a car owned for part of the year counts by twelfths, a part month over 15 days counting as a whole month; the same applies if the car is laid up or destroyed. Real co-owners split the amount by share; a sham transfer between close relatives counts in full for each party unless proved otherwise. A minor child's car counts for the parent with the higher income. A leased car counts for the lessee. Cars of partnerships and companies are attributed to the general partners, the LLC members or managers, or the managing directors of an SA, but no more than the company's highest-expense car per person. Vintage cars with a certificate of authenticity, cars adapted for a disabled driver, and a disabled person's car exempt from road tax do not count (arts. 31(1)(γ) and 33(a)). Mixed-use vehicles and jeeps follow the same scale.
Step 2: asset purchases and repayments (art. 32). Add the money actually paid in the year for: buying or financially leasing cars, motorcycles and three-wheelers, boats, aircraft and goods worth over EUR 10,000; buying a business, founding or adding capital to a company, buying shares and securities, and the investment part of unit-linked insurance; buying, timesharing or financially leasing property, building, or building a pool (at the full price in the deed, or a higher price found on audit); loans made to anyone; cash gifts over EUR 300 a year to non-exempt recipients; and repayments of loans and credit, including interest and default interest. Fixed business equipment bought by a business does not count (art. 33(ε)).
Step 3: the difference (art. 30(1)). Deemed income is step 1 plus step 2. If it exceeds total income, the difference is added to taxable income.
Step 4: the person can reduce the art. 31 amount (art. 31(2)). The art. 31 total (not the art. 32 purchases) can be challenged when actual living costs were lower, with evidence. The law names: military service; prison; hospital stay; registered unemployment with benefit; living with first-degree relatives who pay part of the costs from visible income; orphaned minors who inherited a car; and force majeure. AADE checks the evidence and cuts the amount. For military service and for living with relatives, the amount cut is added to the deemed expense of the parent or child who pays the costs; between two parents, to the one with the higher income.
Step 5: coverage of the difference (art. 34(2)). AADE must take into account amounts on the return that are backed by legal documents. The burden of proof is on the taxpayer. These amounts reduce the difference:
Any cost of getting these receipts reduces them. The list is not closed: art. 34(2) names the amounts "in particular" (ιδίως), and item 7 counts any other amount proven to have been received.
Step 6: how the remaining difference is taxed (art. 34(1)). The difference is added to taxable income in the same tax year and taxed:
The 2026 scale is in gr-income-tax. The tax on the difference is the scale tax on total income plus the difference, minus the scale tax on total income alone. For business profit under this article, losses of the same or earlier years are not deducted and are not carried forward (art. 34(3)).
Low incomes with no business (art. 15(1A)). Where real income is EUR 6,000 or less, deemed income is EUR 9,500 or less, and the person runs no registered business or farm, the income (other than capital income and gains) and the added difference are taxed on the scale with the art. 16 reduction. Real income above EUR 6,000 is taxed under art. 29(1) without the reduction.
Interaction with art. 28A. The two presumptions are separate. Art. 28A sets a minimum business income for a sole trader; that figure is computed in gr-income-tax. On our reading of art. 30(3), where it applies it is the business income in the total income that this skill compares with deemed expenses, so a sole trader whose deemed living expenses exceed the art. 28A amount is taxed on the art. 30 difference above it. We have not read AADE guidance on this point.

gr-cross-border.Eleni is single, aged 40, no children, a Greek-resident employee. Her 2026 taxable salary is EUR 14,000. She rents a 200 m² flat (main space) in an area with a zone price of EUR 5,500 per m². She owns a petrol car first registered in 2015, rated 160 g CO2/km. She has no other income, no savings used and no loans.
Home: 80 m² at 28 (2,240) + 40 m² at 45 (1,800) + 80 m² at 77 (6,160) = 10,200, uplifted by 58% for the zone price: EUR 16,116. Car: 2,000 + 17 grams at 30 (510) + 21 grams at 45 (945) = EUR 3,455. Deemed income is EUR 19,571, above the EUR 3,000 minimum. The difference over her salary is EUR 5,571.
Her income is all salary, so the difference is taxed on the art. 15(1) scale. On EUR 19,571 it falls in the 20% band: 900 + 9,571 at 20% = EUR 2,814.20, against EUR 1,700 on the salary alone. The difference adds EUR 1,114.20 of tax. Her art. 16 reduction is EUR 777 minus EUR 40, so EUR 737: art. 16(2) phases it out by EUR 20 per EUR 1,000 of salary and pension income over EUR 12,000, so the added difference does not reduce it, and it is used in full against the salary tax either way.

Giorgos is single, a Greek-resident freelance engineer in his 8th year, with no staff. His 2026 taxable business profit is EUR 20,000, which is above his art. 28A minimum (see gr-income-tax), so EUR 20,000 is his total income. He owns a 90 m² flat (main space) in an area with a zone price under EUR 2,800 and an older car rated 120 g CO2/km. In 2026 he paid EUR 30,000 for a new petrol car and EUR 3,600 in repayments, with interest, on an older loan. He took a EUR 12,000 car loan, dated before the purchase. He proves EUR 4,000 of savings from income taxed in 2024.
Living expense: home 80 at 28 (2,240) + 10 at 45 (450) = EUR 2,690; old car EUR 2,000; total EUR 4,690. The new car counts by twelfths from the month he bought it (art. 31(1)(γ)); to keep the example simple, he bought it on 20 December, so its deemed annual expense adds nothing for 2026. Asset spending: EUR 30,000 + EUR 3,600. Deemed income is EUR 38,290, EUR 18,290 above total income. The loan (EUR 12,000) and earlier savings (EUR 4,000) cover EUR 16,000, leaving EUR 2,290.
Most of his income is business income, so the EUR 2,290 is taxed under art. 29(1), on the scale without the art. 16 reduction. It falls in the 26% band (EUR 20,000 to 30,000): EUR 595.40 more tax, on top of EUR 2,900 on his profit.
