“Digital Transactions”: Extension until March 19 for submitting applications to the program

Extends until March 19 the submission of applications to the program “Digital Transactions“ which covers part of the purchase cost and POS interface as well as a series of additional digital needs of a business, as stated in its announcement by the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE).

Already the applications that have been submitted to the 4th funding round have already exceeded 132,000. Each business, if it meets the eligibility criteria, can receive a grant for more than one category.

The categories

• Category 1: Provision of new or replacement of existing EFT/POS.
• Class 3: Obtaining electronic invoicing provider services & invoicing software.
• Category 4: VAT & ADIME upgrade for EFT/POS interface.
• Category 5: Replacement of EAFDSSS, except catering businesses.
• Category 6: Replacement of FIM (FTM or ADIME or EAFDSSS) catering businesses.

The ranking based on the above criteria is done separately for each category, taking into account the following limitations:

• (a) It is possible to support only one application in each category.
• (b) For applications submitted in the current cycle, it is not possible to combine grants in categories (3) and (4) together, (3) and (5) together, (3) and (6) together, (5) and (6) together.

It is reminded that, for the business to receive aid for all-in-one cash systems, which includes EFT/POS software (softPOS) and electronic invoicing provider service, two separate applications should be submitted, one in category 1 and one in category 3 respectively.

In the event that a business has joined previous financing cycles (for example in the 3rd cycle, in category 4) and cannot submit an application in a new category (for example in category 3), due to the above restrictions that apply in the current cycle, they must:

Submit to the Help Desk of the Program, through the contact form, a Responsible Declaration (considered or through gov.gr) signed by the legal representative, where they will declare that they wish to resign from category X (where X is the category they are included in) of the Program “Digital Transactions”, no later than Thursday 14 March 2024, otherwise there will not be a reasonable period of time for the examination of the request and the submission of a new application by the potential beneficiaries.

Condition of Waiver

• The check has not been cashed or
• If a check has been issued, but not cashed, it must be canceled on the platform by the beneficiary himself, before submitting the Responsible Declaration.

Finally, it is clarified that if you have already been approved in a category (for example in category 1) in a previous cycle, it is not necessary to submit a waiver request for that category and reapply in the current cycle, as the checks issued may be used to make purchases of approved products and services for all cycles of the Program Categories up to 30/06/2024, without variations per cycle.
