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.

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.
