This guide explains how Electronic Invoicing (e-Invoicing) and Short-Term Rental (STR) compliance work in Greece, and how Chekin supports them. ⚠️ Important In Greece, compliance requirements depend on **your host profile**. Please read the section below carefully before proceeding. --- #### Understanding host types in Greece (very important) Greek legislation (Law 5073/2023, amending Law 4446/2016) distinguishes between Non-Professional and Professional hosts. ### 🟡 Non-Professional Hosts (Casual / Small Hosts) You are a **Non-Professional Host** if: - You are a natural person (individual), and - You rent out up to 2 properties for short-term stays. **Key characteristics** - Income is classified as *income from immovable property* - Simplified tax obligations - No business VAT obligation - Typically no certified e-invoicing provider required **What Chekin supports** - AMA capture and registry consistency - Short-Term Stay Declarations preparation and tracking - Climate fee (TAKK) calculation and receipt - myDATA-ready exports (for accountant handoff) 👉 **Full certified e-invoicing via providers like ILYDA is usually NOT required for this profile.** --- ### 🟢 Professional Hosts (Business Activity) You are a **Professional Host** if: - You are an individual renting 3 or more properties, or - You are a legal entity (company), regardless of property count. **Key characteristics** - Activity is classified as *business income* - VAT obligations apply (13% from Jan 1, 2024) - myDATA reporting is mandatory - Certified e-invoicing providers are required **What Chekin supports** - Full certified e-invoicing via ILYDA - myDATA-ready invoice submission - VAT handling - TAKK (Climate Crisis Resilience Fee) - STR declarations, amendments, cancellations - Accountant-friendly exports and logs 👉 **This guide applies fully to Professional Hosts.** --- #### What is Electronic Invoicing (e-Invoicing)? Electronic invoicing is the process of creating invoices in a structured digital format and submitting them directly to the AADE myDATA platform, replacing PDFs or paper invoices for official reporting. Chekin automates this process so that invoices: - Are generated from booking data - Follow legal formats - Are submitted automatically to the authorities - Can be tracked and audited easily --- #### How e-Invoicing works in Chekin (high level) 1. **One-time activation** (Professional hosts only) 2. **Property & PMS sync** 3. **Supplier configuration** 4. **Invoice sending rules** 5. **Tax logic (VAT, TAKK, submission categories)** 6. **Status tracking & document access** --- #### STEP 1 — Activate certified e-Invoicing (Professional Hosts only) ⚠️ Skip this step if you are a Non-Professional Host.
