Benefits of Adopting Electronic Invoicing
Electronic invoicing automates many steps of the traditional invoicing process. Instead of manually creating, printing, and filing invoices, businesses can generate, transmit, and store invoices in digital form. The benefits are substantial:
- Automatic Transmission and Authentication by IAPR
Once a document is issued, the e-invoicing provider, SBZ IKE, manages the transmission to MyData and ensures authentication by the IAPR. This automated process reduces the burden on businesses and guarantees compliance with tax regulations. - Ensured Document Authenticity
Real-time integration with the IAPR ensures that all invoices and receipts are authentic and verified, fostering trust with both customers and authorities. - No Need for Technology Upgrades
SBZ IKE’s service does not require additional equipment or installation costs, as all processes are handled online. Businesses can avoid expensive infrastructure upgrades and start immediately. - Secure Email Delivery of Invoices

Tax Incentives for Electronic Invoicing
In addition to operational benefits, the Greek government has introduced significant tax incentives for businesses adopting electronic invoicing. According to Article 71ΣΤ of Law 4172/2013, these incentives include:
- Reduced Tax Audit Periods
For companies exclusively using electronic invoicing, the standard five-year tax audit window is reduced to three years for issuers and four years for recipients, decreasing potential audit risks. - Full Equipment Expense Depreciation
Investments in equipment and software for e-invoicing are fully depreciable in the year of purchase, with an additional 100% increase applied. - Enhanced Deductibility of Usage Costs
Expenses associated with producing, transmitting, and archiving electronic invoices are increased by 100% for the first year of invoice issuance, resulting in greater tax deductions. - Accelerated Tax Refund Requests
Businesses that rely solely on e-invoicing for all revenue documents are eligible for a 45-day turnaround on tax refund requests, expediting access to vital funds.
