Revolutionizing Tax Disputes: John Papadakis Highlights Cross-Border Solutions at the Athens Tax Forum

At this year’s Athens Tax Forum, John Papadakis, tax partner at Dryllerakis Law Firm, shared some exciting updates on fresh approaches to handling tax disputes across borders—changes that are setting the stage for a more business-friendly Greece!

The Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) and arbitration have been introduced as part of the OECD’s global efforts to simplify and speed up tax resolution between countries. These methods are all about cutting down on long, drawn-out legal battles and instead helping tax authorities from different countries work together smoothly. And if talks hit a wall, arbitration steps in to give a fair, binding decision.

For businesses, this means greater stability and transparency—two things every company needs to thrive. John stressed how important it is for Greek businesses to get to know these new options and understand how they can be used to protect their interests on an international scale.
