Mr. Pitsilis referred to AADE’s digital platforms, myAADE, myProperty, myCar and myDATA, through which Greek expatriates can make hundreds of transactions with the tax services remotely, from their computer, tablet or mobile phone , without requiring their physical presence or that of an authorized person at any AADE office in Greece.
