Why the 50% Tax Exemption (Article 5C)?
Under Greece's inbound-worker regime, people who move their tax residency to Greece can have 50% of their Greek income entirely exempted from income tax.
Massive Savings
By instantly halving your taxable base, your effective tax rate drops significantly. This can save you thousands of euros every single year.
Valid for 7 Years
Once approved, the benefit is locked in for up to 7 consecutive years. A long-term financial advantage for relocating to Greece.
Employees & Freelancers
Whether you find local employment in Greece, or bring your foreign job as a registered freelancer, the 5C scheme works for both.
