Electronic submission of tax returns
Every person (individual or company) who has an obligation to submit a tax return in accordance with the provisions of the Assessment and Collection of Taxes law must do so electronically.
All individuals who have gross income that falls under Article 5 of the Income Tax Law are obliged to submit a tax return. The Council of Ministers has the power to issue decrees which shall specify the categories of taxpayers with a total annual gross income below the taxable threshold of €19,500 that will be exempted from this obligation and may provide extensions to the submission deadline.
Submission of revised tax returns
From tax year 2016 onwards, a revised tax return can be submitted within 3 years from the submission deadline of the relevant tax return.
For tax years up to 2015, a revised tax return must be submitted by 20 February 2021.
The submission of a revised income tax return is made only through the submission of Form T.D.001AN2020.
Administrative penalties
An administrative penalty of €100 or €200 (depending on the specific case), is imposed for the late submission of a tax return or late submission of supporting documentation requested by the Commissioner. In the case of late payment of the tax due, an additional penalty at the rate of 5% is imposed on the unpaid tax.
Public interest rate
The interest rate applicable on late payment of taxes is set through a Decree and it is imposed on a completed month basis. The rate for 2021 is 1,75%.
