Stakeholders Procedure When?

Stakeholders

Nowadays, it is quite often for Greek professionals to move abroad and either neglect or not have enough time to close down their business activity in Greece.

Procedure

When a professional-freelancer plans to move abroad, then he should settle all his obligations towards the Greek State and close down his business activity, and declare so to the Tax Office, the social security fund and the chamber, in order to ensure that no financial or other obligation might arise in the future.

When?

If the interested party is permanently moving abroad, he should visit all competent authorities (Tax Office, chamber, social security fund, etc.) and close down his sole proprietorship, preferably before departing from Greece.

In case this procedure does not take place beforehand, our company undertakes to perform all relevant tasks and fully cover the taxpayer. In particular, our associate will represent you before all competent divisions and will submit all relevant documents, following the required procedure, so that your sole proprietorship is permanently closed down.

What if the proprietorship is not closed down - Consequences

If the interested professional does not follow the required procedure, assuming that a company with no turnover is automatically considered to be inactive and has no tax burden, this is not true. The most common consequence of not closing down a proprietorship is that tax continues to be calculated and levied (e.g. business charge) even after the professional's departure and the same applies to social security contributions. As a result, liabilities build up and often the taxpayer has no knowledge of it.
