The platform for 2023 Asset Declarations opens today

Starting today, the online platform for submitting 2023 Asset Declarations (Pothen Esches) is open, allowing required filers to declare their assets as of 2022. The platform for 2024 declarations, reflecting assets from 2023, is expected to be available on November 18. On that date, it will also open for specific categories, such as individuals with new reporting obligations acquired between February 28, 2023, and September 30, 2024, who must submit initial Asset Declarations.

This year, the platform includes significant updates. The most notable change is that all asset information—such as income, real estate, deposits, and investment products—will be automatically retrieved, requiring taxpayers only to confirm its accuracy.

This new system enhances transparency by reducing the chance of income or asset concealment and simplifies the process of gathering necessary data, especially from banks. Authorities expect this updated approach to improve the submission process, strengthening transparency and efficiency.

The most significant change in Asset Declaration submissions is that all asset information, including income, real estate, deposits, and investment products, will be automatically retrieved.

Submission Process:

1. Submission Platform: Declarations will be submitted via www.pothen.gr. Notaries can now upload electronic copies of notarial documents, expediting the process.
2. Electronic Notarial Documents: Notaries must submit documents electronically within 15 days of signing.
3. Personal Login Credentials: Filers will use their TAXIS login credentials to submit their declarations, ensuring data security.
4. Automatic Information Display: Personal and tax information will appear automatically, allowing filers to correct any errors before submission.
5. Automatic Asset Transfer: Details such as income, real estate, and bank accounts will be transferred automatically through integration with the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) and other services, minimizing errors and saving time.
6. Correction Option: Filers can review and adjust their information before finalizing the declaration, including adding or removing entries and attaching necessary documents.
7. Electronic Document Submission: Required documents will be electronically attached unless they have been transferred automatically.
8. Amended Declarations: Filers may submit an amended declaration within 30 days after finalization.
