PROPERTY ANNUAL TAX
Single Property Tax (ΕΝΦΙΑ) is a tax imposed by the Greek state on property. This is a tax paid to the state by all owners for any property they own (houses, plots). The tax was introduced in 2014 by the government of Antonis Samaras.
ΕΝΦΙΑ is annual, and the tax office divides it into equal monthly payments to simplify payment. The size of the amount depends on various factors, such as area, floor (when it comes to the house), age, price value of the region. This tax is issued by the General Secretariat through information systems (taxisnet).
