Greece’s tax authority (AADE) has extended to 13 November 2026 the deadline for short-term rental declarations covering September 2026 stays. The change is set out in AADE decision A.1227/2026, dated 26 October 2026.
The short-term stay declaration (dilosi vrachychronias diamonis) reports each booking of a property let through platforms. It is normally due by the 20th of the month after the guest leaves or, for a cancellation charged to the guest, after the cancellation, according to AADE’s short-term rental service page. On that rule, declarations for September stays were due by 20 October 2026.
Decision A.1227/2026 covers stays where the guest left, or the booking was cancelled, between 1 and 30 September 2026. It applies to individuals, legal persons and legal entities that must file under AADE decision POL 1187/2017 on short-term rental of property in the sharing economy. The decision does not cover other months.
Declarations are filed online through AADE’s short-term property rental service, where each property is registered in the Short-Term Accommodation Property Registry. According to AADE, a declaration can be amended until 28 February of the year the income tax return is filed, and before the Short-Term Accommodation Property Registry is finalised.
What it means for buyers
For owners abroad who let a Greek home for short stays, directly or through a local manager, the new deadline for September stays is 13 November 2026. Stays ending in October fall under the usual rule, which points to 20 November 2026. The extension changes only the filing date, not the duty to declare. Buyers should confirm how this applies to them with a Greek lawyer or accountant.
