Google: What is the 7% tax in Greece?

Here is one result (there many others offering to be the "processing organisation" . I would certainly not attempt to do it myself knowing the Greek bureaucracy. Some charge a lot more than others, so worth shopping around.

@JohnNicholls

the link did not come through but here is a good explanation of different schemes around from KPMG:

Wow, they only want 10K Euro to apply. Perhaps, better try a Greek lawyer? This for example:

It is not a recommendation, I did not talk to them.

It says [link under review], hopefully, it will appear, it is for a good article.

Or, you may just google "laura convertini"

A friend sent me some good links. Passing it on, hope it helps others :-)

Hi John, I retired under the 7% tax regime 1 1/2 years ago; what can I help you with? Regards, Marcelo

Hi Marcelo, Thank you for responding to my inquiry. It is much appreciated. I am finding it very difficult to find anyone (you are the only one so far) who has taken this 7% Flat Tax option.

You stated in another post: "...you do actually need pension (social security) income.". This is my primary concern.

We are eligible for Australian pension/social but we have been away from Australia for over 23 years.

We would need to reside in Australian for two years in order to be able to claim our Australian Pension and social sec benefits. This we do not want to do as it would make us endure living costs of in excess of 130,000 euro (Australia is a very expensive country to live in), plus two wasted years …which we would prefer to spend in Greece.

We will be self-funded retirees on a Australian Superannuation (a compulsory system of placing a percentage of your income into a fund to support your financial needs in retirement).

There lies our conundrum, super is a private and not a government pension fund system, so I am trying to find out how we can get around that stumbling block.

So far I have not found any accountants or other person in Greece that may help in this regard.

Still looking! So if you, or you know of an English speaking accountant/lawyer that has experience in this area, I am all ears!

Cheers, John.

Yes, 10K is ridiculous.
