E-Invoicing in Greece — myDATA reporting plus a new B2B mandate

As of June 2026: Greece has two distinct obligations. myDATA — transmitting invoice and accounting data to AADE — has been mandatory since 2021. Separately, a NEW structured B2B e-invoicing mandate (authorised by Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/502) is rolling out in 2026: Phase 1 from 2 March 2026 for large companies (over €1 million 2023 revenue), and Phase 2 from 1 October 2026 for everyone else, with graduated enforcement periods. E-invoices must be EN 16931-compliant and pass through myDATA for a unique identifier. Confirm dates and your phase with AADE (Independent Authority for Public Revenue).

Greece's myDATA and B2B e-invoicing mandate

Greece operates myDATA (my Digital Accounting and Tax Application), run by AADE, which has required businesses to transmit invoice and accounting data since 2021 — that is e-reporting, not full structured e-invoicing on its own. On top of that, Greece secured an EU derogation (Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/502) to introduce a mandatory structured B2B e-invoicing regime in 2026: Phase 1 from 2 March 2026 for large companies and Phase 2 from 1 October 2026 for all remaining businesses, each with a graduated transition window. The new B2B e-invoices must follow the EN 16931 European standard and be cleared through myDATA. We keep these two layers — reporting and the structured mandate — clearly separate.

How Invotify Helps

Greece's new B2B mandate requires EN 16931-compliant structured invoices, and that is precisely what Invotify's Pro e-invoicing exports — UBL 2.1, CII and Peppol BIS 3.0, all built on EN 16931. That gives you a standards-based file ready to feed into a myDATA-connected provider or access point as the 2026 phases take effect, rather than scrambling to restructure PDFs at the deadline. Invotify provides standards-based export only; the myDATA transmission, unique-identifier (UID) assignment and clearance are completed by your myDATA channel or accountant. E-invoice export is a paid Pro feature.

E-Invoicing in Greece —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q01

Is structured B2B e-invoicing mandatory in Greece?

It is becoming mandatory in 2026. Under Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/502, Phase 1 starts 2 March 2026 for large companies (over €1 million 2023 revenue) and Phase 2 from 1 October 2026 for all other businesses, each with a graduated enforcement window. Confirm your phase and exact dates with AADE before relying on them.

Q02

How is myDATA different from the new e-invoicing mandate?

myDATA, mandatory since 2021, is e-reporting — businesses transmit invoice and accounting data to AADE. The 2026 mandate is a separate, stronger obligation: issuing structured EN 16931 e-invoices that pass through myDATA to receive a unique identifier. One is reporting data about invoices; the other is the structured invoice itself. We keep them clearly distinct.

Q03

What format does Greece require, and does Invotify support it?

Greek B2B and B2G e-invoices must be structured and compliant with the EN 16931 European standard. Invotify Pro exports EN 16931-based UBL 2.1, CII and Peppol BIS 3.0, giving you a compatible structured file. We emit open standards rather than a Greece-only proprietary format, so the output stays interoperable with myDATA-connected providers and Peppol.

Q04

Does Invotify connect directly to myDATA?

No. Invotify provides standards-based structured export — UBL 2.1, CII and Peppol BIS 3.0 — not a direct myDATA integration. The transmission to myDATA, the unique-identifier (UID) assignment and clearance are handled by your myDATA-connected provider, access point or accountant. This keeps your invoice data portable across tools.

Q05

Who runs Greece's e-invoicing system?

AADE, the Independent Authority for Public Revenue, operates myDATA and oversees both the existing reporting regime and the new 2026 B2B e-invoicing mandate. AADE is the authoritative source for phase dates, thresholds and technical specifications — always confirm the current rules with them.
