EEA: Exemption from real property transfer tax for the first residential real property in Greece is proposed to be extended to EEA citizens

The exemption initially granted only to Greek citizens, was subsequently extended to citizens of EU Member States, following an infringement procedure initiated by the European Commission (see the judgment on the case C-155/09, CJ 20 January 2011). 
It is now proposed by the Government that this exemption is also extended to cover citizens of the European Economic Area, i.e. citizens of Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. 
The proposal is included in a bill that was approved by the Government and will be discussed in the Parliament in the following weeks.
