This year’s asset declaration submission process for 2025, which is already underway, comes with significant changes – the most decisive being the automatic extraction of banking data through the electronic platform pothen.gr. This is an innovation that, according to the Authorities, aims to simplify the process and reduce errors on the part of those obligated to file.

However, this new function doesn’t come without “traps.” Technical details and potential points of failure require special attention, as omissions or inaccurate information may even lead to sanctions.
It should be noted that the platform is accessible to thousands of obligated individuals and will remain open until October 31, 2025.
Asset declaration 2025: What you need to watch out for
Using TaxisNet credentials, the obligated person can log in and automatically extract data from connected financial authorities.
However, this new system comes with strict responsibilities: in case of errors, discrepancies, or omissions, the declarant bears full responsibility. Even small deviations may trigger audits with retroactive effect, making careful verification of all information essential before final submission.
Married couples need special attention. Even if the spouse has no obligation due to professional status, they must file a separate declaration. The same obligation applies to partners with cohabitation agreements when one of the two belongs to the obligated categories. Failure to file results in fines, even if due to ignorance.
The platform process includes specific steps: login with Taxinet credentials, automatic data extraction from banks, review and manual entry where gaps exist, as well as full justification for every amount or balance change – from salaries and sales of assets to donations or inheritances. The declaration includes all assets such as real estate and vehicles, based on the actual picture of wealth.
Those obligated to file asset declarations include a wide range of individuals: political figures such as the President of the Republic, Prime Minister, ministers and MPs, local government officials (mayors, regional governors, councilors), judicial and prosecutorial officials, civil servants in positions of responsibility, Armed Forces and Security Corps personnel, members of independent authorities, banking and financial organization executives, media owners and directors, journalists, sports figures and public works committee members, as well as spouses or partners with cohabitation agreements of the above.
