In a new strike mobilization will be proceeded tomorrow by the ownersDigital clientele“, This time outside the Ministry of National Economy and Finance at 11am. Earlier today, a gathering was held outside the offices of AADE. According to SKAI information, a delegation of four people from the electrician, borrower and engineers have a meeting with AADE Governor George Pitsilis. Among them was Grigoris Moffis, President of Attica Owners. The four delegates demanded an extension of the implementation of the “digital clientele” by the end of the year, with their request not accepted.
It is noted that the owners AADEin Piraeus, following a call from the Association of Owners of Machine -cars – Athens and Piraeus (SISMA).
Siema argues that “the implementation of the” digital clientele “creates serious problems in the operation of small businesses in the industry that are self -employed in their overwhelming majority. Self -employed and small professionals, in addition to usual tasks, the diagnosis of damage and their repair are tasked with spare parts, payments, receipts, phones, bids, receiving and delivery of cars, communication with customers, etc. In essence, further expanding the working hours of each self -employed colleague, who does not have the luxury of hiring specialized staff for all these digital processes, and is obliged to carry out himself.
“Digital Modernization” loaded us with enough additional digital employment. My data electronic invoices, electronic shipping releases, electronic waste register, digital work card, digital work register etc.
The new measure worse the situation. It requires a minimum of 15-20 minutes (simple input, job recording, cost, output) for each vehicle without calculating the various changes that can double that time (exit to test, exit from the facilities and reassessment, transition of self-operation to a partner for other work) The ground of errors and omissions that automatically attract fines, much more to colleagues with fewer digital skills. It is not the situation for the largest businesses in the industry that have an organized accounting office and specialized staff who can easily carry out such procedures. Small businesses are not able to find themselves at a disadvantage.
We are not convinced of the “tax evasion”. Such campaigns by governments are done to hide tax measures. That is, the fines of all kinds of automated controls, this is the goal of the government, as the AADE Governor acknowledged. That is, the increase in the tax burden of self -employed industry.
What is “digital clientele”?
According to AADE announcements, the “digital clientele” is a new electronic trading system. Its main objective is to electronically imprint the data of customers and the services provided, with the aim of enhancing tax transparency and supporting audit mechanisms.
As of July 1, 2025, the application of the “digital clientele” becomes mandatory for the following categories of business, as announced by AADE:
Vehicles
Vehicles
Parking lots
Vehicle Rental Businesses
The operating process, as described by AADE, includes the following steps:
Entry Recording: When the customer enters the business, the professional is obliged to record electronic information of the vehicle (eg, registration sign, brand, model) as well as the tasks to be performed.
Connection and transmission to Mydata: The registered data is automatically connected to the corresponding documentary document (such as receipt or invoice) and automatically transmitted to the AADE Mydata platform.
According to the official announcements of AADE, the introduction of the digital clientele aims to tackle tax evasion and to enhance tax compliance.
In particular, AADE states that this digitization is expected to offer:
Automated Management: Allows automated customer management, with the ability to send, download, update or even cancel records.
