Greece payroll: frequently asked questions
A specialist provider runs your payroll in Greece end to end — calculating gross-to-net pay in euro (EUR), withholding income tax withholding (fóros misthotón), applying e-EFKA unified social security where required, and filing and remitting to Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) by the local deadlines. You keep managing your team while the compliance and administrative burden shifts to the provider, so you avoid penalties and stay current with local rules.
income tax withholding (fóros misthotón) is withheld from each employee’s pay and remitted to Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE). A provider applies the correct brackets, reliefs and deductions and files the required returns on time; resident and non-resident employees can be taxed differently, so accurate set-up matters.
Payroll in Greece includes e-EFKA unified social security, funded by employer and (where applicable) employee contributions. e-EFKA is the single national social security fund covering pension and health. A provider registers your staff, calculates each contribution and remits it with the payroll cycle so nothing is missed.
On top of gross salary in euro (EUR), employers typically fund their share of e-EFKA unified social security and any statutory levies or end-of-service entitlements. Private-sector Christmas, Easter and holiday bonuses (effectively 13th/14th salary) are mandatory. Exact rates change with legislation, so a provider keeps your cost calculations accurate as the rules update.
Employers report and remit payroll deductions and contributions to Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) and the relevant social bodies on the local statutory calendar. Missing a deadline triggers penalties, so a provider manages the full filing and payment schedule on your behalf.
To hire and pay staff directly you generally need a registered entity in Greece plus the associated tax and social-security registrations, which takes time to set up. Alternatively, an Employer of Record (EOR) already has a compliant local entity and can employ, payroll and onboard your workers in Greece without you incorporating.
