When will Greece’s e-delivery become mandatory?
The e-delivery system in Greece will become compulsory in two phases:
Phase One: Beginning on December 1, 2024, businesses must start sending e-delivery documents through myDATA, notifying recipients using their VAT numbers.
Phase Two: From April 1, 2025, businesses will need to track goods during transportation, report any updates immediately, and account for the goods’ quantity and quality.
Who is obliged to submit?
e-delivery documents need to be submitted to myDATA by:
- The company issuing the delivery notes or a third-party logistics (3PL) provider. If a 3PL manages the inventory and generates delivery documents for a company, they must send these documents to myDATA.
- In the case of goods coming from foreign suppliers who are not obligated to report to myDATA, the responsibility lies elsewhere.
What are the benefits?
The e-delivery system brings several advantages, including:
- Streamlining processes by moving away from paper to a fully digital system.
- Enhancing tax reporting accuracy, ensuring better oversight and compliance.
- Reducing the likelihood of errors and improving overall transparency in transactions.
How to generate and submit documents?
Companies must use myDATA ERP systems or authorized e-invoicing providers to create and send e-delivery documents via the myDATA platform. These documents must contain key details like recipient and issuer information, delivery dates, MARK and QR codes, and must be sent before dispatch. Additionally, recipients are notified through myDATA, and any issues with the goods must be reported within a specified time.
