Global Daily Tax News, Greece Implements New Tax Risk Detection Systems, (Sep 26, 2025)

Greece has implemented new tax risk detection mechanisms, with support from the European Union and the Swedish tax agency, powered by AI and machine learning.

The initiative is intended to enable Greece's tax authority to leverage modern technologies to more successfully identify high risk tax cases.

Specifically, the tax agency has newly introduced a new pilot program involving the use of AI and machine learning to more efficiently select cases for tax audit, as well as new approaches to assess tax risk. Further, new guidance has been created for officials on tackling fiscal crime related to e-commerce and crypto-assets.

The Governor of the Independent Authority, George Pitsilis, said, "The completion of this project demonstrates our strong commitment to the adoption of innovative practices and the further strengthening of our audit mechanisms. Through international cooperation and the use of technology, we are modernizing and becoming more effective in our mission: to ensure fair taxation by fighting tax evasion, for the benefit of society and the economy."
