The European Commission has asked Greece to end the discriminatory taxation of foreign-flagged ships and amend legislation on duty-free service stations.Under Greek tax rules, Greek-flagged ships and certain vessels managed from Greece are exempt from income tax. They are instead subject to a lower, simplified tonnage tax for maritime activities.Ships flying foreign flags are subject to the less favorable income tax regime. Greece also provides an income tax exemption for dividends from entities using Greek-flagged ships, but not for dividends from companies using foreign-flagged ships.The Commission says that these provisions are contrary to European Union rules on the freedom of establishment, the freedom to provide services, and the free movement of capital. Greece must comply with these requests within two months. If it fails to do so, the Commission may refer the cases to the European Court of Justice.
