There is no VAT registration threshold for foreign businesses trading in Greece that are VAT/GST/Tax registered in their home state.
The VAT registration threshold (distance selling) for EU VAT registered companies selling goods over the internet to consumers in Greece, is €35,000 per annum.
For EU registered businesses the Greek tax authorities will require the appropriate forms to be completed, and submitted by e-mail to the relevant local tax office. Further documentation may be required. Non-EU businesses must appoint a fiscal representative in order to register for Greek VAT.
Once the registration has been approved, which can take as little as one working week, a unique Greek VAT number is allocated to the company. Each EU member states has a fixed format for its VAT numbers. In Greece, the number includes the prefix EL followed by 9 digits.

A business is free to commence trading, and charging Greek VAT once it has been allocated a VAT number. It must comply with the Greek VAT compliance rules, and file regular returns (see Greek VAT Returns briefing).
