Greece has progressive income tax from 9% to 44% across 6 brackets (Law 5246/2025 cut all mid-bracket rates for 2026). The 44% top rate now starts at €60,000 (previously €40,000). Greece is actively courting wealthy foreigners with two powerful regimes: the non-dom scheme (€100,000 flat tax on worldwide income for 15 years) and digital nomad visa (50% tax exemption for 7 years). Social security (EFKA) runs 13.87% for employees, capped at €93,143/year (€7,762/month). The old solidarity surcharge (εισφορά αλληλεγγύης) of 2.2-10% was suspended in 2023 and remains suspended. A €50,000 earner pays roughly €9,400 income tax (~19%) plus €6,900 social security. Greece also offers Golden Visa residency from €250,000 property investment. Filing deadline is July 15.

Greece has 6 progressive brackets for 2026 (Law 5246/2025 reduced all mid-bracket rates): 9% on €0–10,000, 20% on €10,000–20,000, 26% on €20,000–30,000, 34% on €30,000–40,000, 39% on €40,000–60,000, and 44% above €60,000. The 44% top rate threshold rose from €40,000 to €60,000 for 2026. Freelancers and self-employed can opt for a special regime with different rates and presumed expenses.
Greece's non-dom regime lets wealthy individuals pay €100,000 flat tax annually on ALL foreign-source income—regardless of actual amount—plus normal Greek tax on Greek income only. Requirements: invest €500,000 in Greek real estate/securities/business, not Greek tax resident for 7 of prior 8 years. Lasts 15 years. Family members pay €20,000 each.
Greece's digital nomad visa offers 50% income tax exemption for 7 years. You must work remotely for a foreign employer/clients, not have been Greek tax resident for 5 of prior 6 years, and commit to staying 2+ years. On €100,000 income, you'd pay tax on only €50,000—roughly €10,400 instead of €25,400. Highly attractive for remote workers.
Greek employees pay 13.87% social security (EFKA): 6.67% pension, 2.15% health, 3.25% supplementary, 1.80% unemployment. Employers pay 21.79%. The monthly earnings cap is €7,761.94 (January 2026), so annual EFKA is capped at ~€12,919. Self-employed pay 26.95% on declared income (minimum contribution applies).
Greece's Golden Visa grants 5-year renewable residency for property investments. Entry level: €250,000 in certain regions, €500,000 in Athens/Thessaloniki/islands, or €800,000 for premium areas. Also available via €400,000 securities investment or €500,000 bank deposit. Grants Schengen travel. No minimum stay requirement—purely investment-based.
