The result shows the ordinary tax, the tax under the regime and the difference a year.
Under article 5B of the Income Tax Code, a person who receives a pension from abroad and moves their tax residence to Greece pays 7% on all income from abroad for up to 15 years, instead of the scale of 9–44%. You must not have been tax resident in Greece in 5 of the 6 previous years, and you must come from a country that has a tax-cooperation agreement with Greece. Income from Greece is taxed normally.
Article 5C exempts half of the salary (or of the business income of the self-employed) earned in Greece for 7 years. It is for people who were not tax resident in Greece in 5 of the last 6 years, who come from the EU/EEA or a cooperating country, work for a Greek employer or a Greek branch, and stay at least 2 years.
Article 5A lets a wealthy new resident pay a flat €100,000 a year (plus €20,000 for each family member included) instead of the tax on all foreign income, for up to 15 years. You must not have been tax resident in Greece in 7 of the last 8 years and must invest at least €500,000 in Greece within 3 years — unless you already hold a golden visa.
The ordinary side uses the 2026 scale with its lower rates for parents and for people up to 30. Deadlines, the documents and how a treaty with your country treats your income decide the details — a Greek lawyer or tax adviser checks them before you apply.
