If the tax is ever reinstated, only documented improvements with contractor invoices and building permits are deductible — keep your paperwork.

Capital gains tax is suspended until 31 December 2026.
This is an estimate for general planning purposes only and is not tax or legal advice. The capital gains tax suspension has been renewed annually since 2014 and could change at any time — always confirm your exact position with a licensed Greek accountant before selling. This tool does not apply the inflation-indexation coefficient the real law uses when active, and does not account for reclassification as business income if you sell multiple properties.

What is the capital gains tax rate on selling property in Greece?
The statutory rate is 15% of the net gain (sale price minus the original purchase price, acquisition costs and documented improvements). However, this tax has been suspended for individual sellers every year since 2014, and the current suspension runs through 31 December 2026 — so most private sellers owe 0% capital gains tax right now.
Do I have to pay capital gains tax if I sell my property now, in 2026?
No. While the suspension is in effect, individual sellers do not pay capital gains tax on a Greek property sale, regardless of how large the gain is. You'll still pay other transaction costs (agent commission, notary, legal fees), just not capital gains tax itself.
Will I owe capital gains tax if I sell in 2027 or later?
That depends on whether the suspension is extended again. It has been renewed every year since 2014, but as of now there is no confirmed decision for 2027 — it could be extended, left to expire, or replaced with different rules. If it lapses, the 15% rate would apply to gains on sales from that point forward.
How is the taxable gain calculated when the tax is active?
In simple terms: sale price minus sale costs, minus the sum of your original purchase price, purchase costs and documented improvements. The actual law also applies an inflation-indexation coefficient based on your purchase year, which increases your deductible cost basis the longer you've held the property — this can meaningfully reduce the taxable gain. This calculator does not apply that indexation, so its "if reinstated" figure is a simplified upper-bound estimate, not a precise one.
Does selling multiple properties change how I'm taxed?
Yes. If you sell three or more properties within a two-year period, Greek tax authorities can treat the activity as a business rather than a private sale. In that case gains are taxed on the progressive income scale (up to 44%) instead of the individual capital gains rate — a materially different and usually higher outcome. This mainly matters for investors with multiple properties, not a single family home sale.
Do foreign sellers pay the same capital gains tax as Greek residents?
Yes — the same rate and the same suspension apply regardless of nationality or residency. Non-resident sellers typically still need a Greek tax registration number (AFM) and may need a tax representative to complete the sale and any required filings, even while the tax itself is suspended.
