Greek Tax Numbers (AFM), Tax Representation & Banking
Navigating Greek fiscal and regulatory requirements requires absolute local precision. We act as your official Greek Tax Representative, manage swift issuance of your AFM tax number through the Non-Resident Tax Authority (AADE), and configure secure Taxisnet credentials. Furthermore, we assemble and certify the exhaustive documentation required by Greek commercial banks to open personal or corporate accounts without administrative delays.

Working closely with reputable island notary publics and legal counsels, we coordinate complete dossiers for:
- Golden Visa & Real Estate Investment: End-to-end administrative management for non-EU investors acquiring Corfiot real estate.
- Digital Nomads & Non-Dom Retirees: Structuring applications for specialized remote-worker visas and expatriate tax incentive regimes.
- Certified Document Translations: Rapid, certified translation of birth certificates, marriage licenses, corporate records, and tax filings through licensed professional translators.
Utility Transfers, Land Registry & Bill Administration
Once a property transaction closes, we take full responsibility for all municipal and utility onboarding:
- Executing account title transfers for electricity (PPC or private energy providers) and municipal water (DEYAK).
- Registration and cadastral alignment with the Hellenic Cadastre (Ktimatologio) and the Corfu Mortgage Registry.
- Settlement of local municipal dues, property tax (ENFIA), and utility bills directly at our Private KEP counter in Mandouki.
