Greece: Supplier Information

Greece requires specific information for Greek suppliers

You must specify the following information:

  • Electronic address: You specify the supplier's TIN in the ÈndpointID element. This is the electronic address to which the application level response to the invoice may be delivered. Greek suppliers who use PEPPOL must specify their TIN.
  • Supplier's Name: You specify the supplier's full name in the PartyName/Name element.
  • Supplier's Tax Scheme: You specify VAT as the Tax Scheme that the supplier belongs to in the PartyTaxScheme element.

Use the AccountingSupplierParty element to model this information.

Elements

Invoice/AccountingSupplierParty/Party/EndpointIDSpecify the TIN of the Greek Supplier.

Invoice/AccountingSupplierParty/Party/PartyTaxScheme/CompanyIDSpecify the TIN, prefixed by EL. For example EL123456789.

Restrictions

  • Greek suppliers that send an invoice through the PEPPOL network must use a correct TIN in the EndpointID element.
  • You must use 9933 as the value for the @schemeID attribute.
  • Greek suppliers must provide their full name as it appears in the Greek Business Registry (G.E.MH.) as a legal entity or in the Tax Registry as a natural person.
  • The TIN used in the EndpointID and CompanyiD elements must begin with EL and use a valid TIN.
