We are joined by Aspasia Malliou (Greek Tax Law expert) who will be providing us with an inside view of the newly adopted measures and we will explore together the benefits and limitations that they entail, along with James Belesiotis (CPA CA CAIT CISA CITP) to explore the impact changing Tax residency may have for Greek Canadians applying to the program.This webinar will be covering questions arising from the implementation of the new Greek taxation laws, such as:
• What are the tax and practical implications of changing my tax residence?
• Are there any planning opportunities in selling my business and retiring in Greece?
• How will my tax migration affect my tax status/assets in Canada?
• What are the benefits associated with the program and who can apply?
• Why should I consider Greece as my new tax base?
• I am a pensioner and want to retire in Greece. How do I apply?
We are also honoured to be joined by Ambassador of Greece to Canada Konstantina Athanassiadou, who will be introducing the topic to the Canadian audience.
