Navigating the Revised Timelines for Digital Goods Movement Documentation
In a move to ensure a smoother transition for businesses, the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) in Greece has announced a postponement of the e-Delivery system’s rollout. Originally set to begin on December 1, 2024, the deadline has been extended to April 1, 2025, for businesses with an annual turnover exceeding 200,000 EUR in 2022.
This delay provides additional time for organizations to adapt to the requirements of digital goods movement documentation. The phased implementation approach is designed to reduce immediate pressure on businesses while facilitating compliance with myDATA digital platform regulations.
Updated Timeline for e-Delivery System Rollout
The revised schedule introduces two key phases:
- Phase One:
- Start Date: April 1, 2025.
- Scope: Applies to specific sectors and businesses with turnover above 200,000 EUR in 2022.
- Phase Two:
- Start Date: October 1, 2025.
- Scope: Encompasses all businesses, mandating the issuance of e-delivery documents and comprehensive digital tracking of shipments.
