Greek Intrastat thresholds

The following annual Intrastat thresholds apply in Greece in 2026 (calendar year):

  • Arrivals: EUR 250,000
  • Dispatches: EUR 90,000

These thresholds are computed annually according to the calendar year. Once filed, a complete calendar year needs to be covered by a company in order to stop filing these returns. For example, if a company exceeds the threshold in March 2023 on arrivals, Intrastat returns for arrivals are due until December 2024. These thresholds are calculated according to the invoice value. The authorities monitor the thresholds and often send letters to each taxpayer requiring them to file missing Intrastat return.

Have a look at our overview of Intrastat thresholds.

Reporting of specific scenarios in Greece

Very often, the transactions reported in the Intrastat return are standard sales from one taxable person to another. However, a number of scenarios have specific reporting requirements.

The list of transaction codes for Intrastat in Greece can be found here under the Code of transactions table.

Nil and corrective Intrastat returns in Greece

If no transactions are to be reported, a nil Intrastat is not due.

In case the information included in a given Intrastat return declaration needs to be corrected, you must submit an amending declaration. You also submit an amendment in cases where goods have been received from the declaration. This is how you should proceed:

  • In the online portal you need to select from the column "Amending statement" the month and the Flow you want to modify.
  • When the system brings you the registrations of the month, click on the 8-digit code of the commodity, which corresponds to the record you want to modify, correct the incorrect data and then select "Accept" and "Send declaration".

Find here the instructions on how to submit a corrective Intrastat return.
