💡 What Are Tax Treaties?
Tax treaties are bilateral agreements that prevent individuals and companies from being taxed twice on the same income — once in Greece and again in their home country.
These agreements outline:
-
Which country has taxing rights on specific income
-
Reduced or zero withholding tax on dividends, interest, and royalties
-
Residency tie-breaker rules and mutual agreement procedures
