Greece has increased the annual tax-free threshold for electronic tips to €6,000, beginning January 1st, 2026. This change applies to tips received through electronic means. The new limit will particularly benefit seasonal workers in the tourism and hospitality sectors, who often rely on tips as a significant part of their income. The retroactive application aims to simplify tax regulations for businesses and employees handling digital gratuities. This measure is expected to incentivize the use of electronic payment systems for tips. The government believes this will provide clarity and facilitate fairer taxation within the service industry. The regulation is part of a broader effort to modernize tax practices in Greece.
