Greece Extends Wealth Declaration Deadline to November 15

The Greek government has extended the deadline for submitting the 2025 Wealth Declarations (covering the 2024 financial year) to November 15, 2025. The annual declarations, known as “Pothen Esches,” are submitted via the official online platform using TaxisNet credentials.

Key Changes in the 2025 Declaration Process

This year, the declaration process features automatic retrieval of financial data from connected banks and investment accounts. Taxpayers can directly import information on deposits, loans, and investments, streamlining the submission process.

However, responsibility for accuracy and completeness remains solely with the declarant. Even minor errors or omissions can trigger audits with retroactive consequences.

Important Points for Couples and Partners

Spouses and civil partners must submit separate declarations if one partner falls under the mandatory categories.

Failure to submit may result in fines, even if due to unawareness.

Step-by-Step Submission

1. Login: Access the platform at www.pothen.gr using TaxisNet credentials.
2. Import Data: Select automatic retrieval, then verify all financial information has been imported correctly.
3. Review and Complete: Check all pre-filled fields. Manually enter any missing data from banks not automatically connected.
4. Declare Funds: Clearly state the origin of all significant transactions — e.g., salary, rent, sale of property, or gifts.
5. Verify Assets: Ensure vehicles, real estate, and other assets are accurately recorded.
6. Submit Spousal Declaration: The non-mandatory spouse or partner must submit their own declaration if required.

The extended deadline gives taxpayers additional time to carefully review and submit accurate information, ensuring compliance with Greek law.
