Do I need to keep paper invoices in Greece?
Published 18 March 2025

In Greece, keeping paper invoices depends on your workflow, but digital records are increasingly accepted.
In most cases, you are required to keep your financial documents for several years for tax purposes. This includes invoices and receipts.
However, digital storage is widely used. Scanned copies or digital invoices are usually sufficient, as long as they are clear and complete.
It is important to store your documents safely and be able to access them if needed. During a tax audit, you must be able to provide the required files.
Some professionals still prefer to keep paper copies as a backup. Others rely fully on digital systems.
The safest approach is to confirm with your accountant what is acceptable in your specific case. Rules may vary depending on your activity and setup.
Moving to a digital system can save space, reduce clutter, and make your workflow much easier.
