Greece’s tax bill with the 15% transfer tax for non-EU/EEA tax residents returns to Parliament’s economic affairs committee on Monday 9 November 2026, with a hearing of outside bodies. The second reading is set for Wednesday 11 November. The bill is not yet law.
The timetable comes from the Hellenic Parliament’s weekly committee bulletin and the bill’s page. The Ministry of National Economy and Finance tabled the bill on 3 November 2026. The Standing Committee on Economic Affairs held its first session on 6 November.
The sessions this week are:
- Monday 9 November, 13:00: hearing of outside bodies;
- Monday 9 November, 16:00: continued consideration;
- Wednesday 11 November, 16:00: second reading.
The bill’s page lists no amendments and no date for the plenary vote yet. It notes that the posted text is not final, pending spelling and syntax corrections.
Several property articles are in the bill. Article 16 raises the transfer tax on homes bought by tax residents outside the EU and EEA to 15%, for final contracts from 1 July 2027, as we reported on 5 November. Article 13 extends the suspension of capital gains tax on property and the income tax exemption for homes let on long-term leases. Article 17 extends the VAT suspension on new buildings for 2027 (our report). Article 15 widens the property tax (ENFIA) exemption for main homes to settlements of up to 2,000 residents from 2027 (our report). Article 18 extends the income tax reduction for home upgrade spending (our report). Article 51 covers corrections to property (E9) declarations for 2014 to 2026 (our report).
What it means for buyers
The text can still change during the committee stage and in the plenary. Amendments to Article 16, which sets the 1 July 2027 start date for the 15% rate, can still be tabled. Until the bill is passed and published in the Government Gazette, none of these provisions is in force.
Buyers should confirm how this applies to them with a Greek lawyer or accountant.
What happens next
After the second reading on 11 November, the bill goes to the plenary. Parliament has not yet listed a plenary date.
