Tax advice

[Minx0r]

Hi all!

I wonder if anyone can help?

I'm living in Greece but still work for a uk company via the Internet
So am paid in £ into my uk bank account and take out cash here in Greece.

Can anyone tell me where I stand with Greek taxes, e.g can the Greek tax office claim income tax or anything like that from me?

I asked the consulate but all they sent me was a link to taxes for Greek salaries.

Hope someone can help.

* please note: I am actually living in Varkiza, Athens not in Cyprus as my profile suggests.

Presumably you are registered with HMRC in the UK for income tax already. You can opt into paying tax in the country of residency, but why bother. Much better to pay into a system that would be more understandable to an English speaker.

you have to pay tax only to one country.its your choice which one.
i would prefer uk.

If you LIVE in Greece under the 183 day rule you will be required to pay taxes to GREECE based on your worldly income.

why should he do that?
for your income you have to pay tax only once.you can not pay tax twice.

i have some buy to lets in U.K and i am paying taxes in U.K no matter that i am living in greece and i am greek.

there is a european law which says that you have to pay your taxes in one country only.you must not double pay.

the untaxed amount in U.K is 9.500 euros and in greece is 5.000 or 4.000.

also in greece no one knows what the government will decide what you have to pay next time.
avoid greeek taxes.talk with a logistic to inform you.


also here in greece no one knows if you live here 100 or 200 or 300 days per year.
its up to you...

i am greek,i am living here 365 days per year ,i have an income more than 20.000 euros per year in U.K and i am paying my taxes there.and i have no problem.thats how it is.its legally.

as a greek i am also fill the greek tax form but i am showing 0 income and i am not paying anything.and i ll continue to doing this.

i prefer to take an airplane to visit london or manchester to go in a hospital rather to visit one here.
finally next month i ll try to relocate in thailand.

he (& you ) needs to DECLARE earnings//income from anywhere in the world - any tax already paid will be offset against tax obligations to Greece


if you live in Greece - ie you aren't resident in the UK you are committing fraud by flying to the UK to use the NHS - the UK NHS is only for RESIDENTS of the UK

The legal situation is simple......you pay taxes in the country of residence based on the 183 day rule. The UK has some very complex laws on domicile, but the 183 day rule is clear in EU terms.
If you are taxed in another EU country also, you can claim back through the double taxation treaty terms ..
see Double taxation Conventions - European commission

for more details.....

I would keep quiet about what you are doing.........the tax man may be looking !!!!!
I know for a fact UK tax officials have scanned internet for property lets abroad owned by UK residents and not being declared.....

i am visiting uk lots of times for business and it happened to visited uk hospitals cause of illness several times.just with my greek id not either my passport they took me in and everything was free.

in the other hand i am paying taxes in uk and several other expenses as bookkeeper ,maintenance,ground rent and management.

so annually i am paying quit a lot .its fair for me to be able to visit a uk hospital.
and as i said uk hospitals treated me very well in the past.
