If you’re living in the UK but have income, property, investments or pensions in Greece, you may have UK tax obligations — even if you’re already paid tax in Greece.
You own rental property in Greece
You have Greek bank accounts or savings
You receive Greek pension or private income
You have UK income alongside Greek income
You have moved between Greece and the UK
You receive dividends from Greek companies
As a UK tax resident, you must declare your worldwide income to HMRC, regardless of where it is generated. The UK–Greece Double Taxation Convention may allow you to claim credit for Greek tax paid, reducing or eliminating additional UK tax.
