This year’s Holy Spirit weekend draws not just tourists but also farmers. Authorities are conducting inspections, beginning with the islands and coastal areas, to uncover revenue concealment, falsified receipts, and POS systems linked to… Estonia.
In Attica, the first incidents have emerged: a well-known restaurant in central Athens was found using eight POS terminals not connected to the Greek tax authorities, resulting in a fine of €40,000. Additionally, an entertainment venue in the northern suburbs was discovered to have an unregistered cash register and a POS that failed to issue receipts, leading to a two-day suspension of its operations.
The business incurred a hefty fine of €40.5 million.
The enforcement plan includes 43,000 inspections by the end of the season, utilizing technology such as drones, tablets, and the “Check Live” app, which facilitates real-time receipt scanning. Concurrently, complaints via the appodixi platform are on the rise: in 2025 alone, nearly 8,500 receipts have been recorded, many of which are branded.
Around 8.8 million cases have been reported, out of which only 8.8 million have been registered, with over 8,000 confirmed as valid.
- Violators face more than just fines. The AADE can shut down businesses immediately:
- for 48 hours if over 10 receipts or amounts exceeding €500 are missing
- for 96 hours if deficiencies are repeated within the same or following year
- for 10 days in the case of three violations within two years
- with an additional 10 days if the seal is tampered with
