How do you get the ENFIA tax discount with home insurance?
If your home is insured against all three risks — earthquake, fire, and flood — you are entitled to an ENFIA property-tax discount. The discount started at 10% in 2022 and has since been increased for homes with lower taxable value. A minimum policy duration and adequate insured sum are required; your insurer reports the data to the Greek tax authority (AADE).
What are the conditions for the ENFIA discount?
The discount was introduced by Law 4916/2022 and applies from the 2022 ENFIA onward. To qualify, your home policy must cumulatively meet specific conditions:
- Coverage of all three risks: earthquake, fire, and flood. If even one is missing, there is no discount.
- Minimum insured duration of three months within the previous year — for less than a full year, the discount is prorated.
- The insured sum must cover the building's reconstruction value. AADE sets a minimum value per square metre — confirm the current threshold at aade.gr.
How large is the discount today?
For the 2022 and 2023 ENFIA the discount was 10% for a full year of coverage. From the 2024 ENFIA the discount was doubled to 20% for homes with a taxable value up to €500,000 insured for the full year; above that, 10% still applies. Because the details can change with new ministerial decisions, always check the current AADE announcement before assessment time.
How is the insurance reported to AADE?
You do not need to apply. Insurers electronically submit the insured-home data to AADE (the property's ATAK identifier, duration, coverages). You only need to make sure the property's ATAK is correctly recorded on the policy and that your E9 property declaration is up to date. The discount then appears automatically on your ENFIA assessment in myAADE.
How do you check that your policy qualifies?
Open your policy's coverage table and look for earthquake, fire, and flood explicitly listed among the covered perils — not in the optional add-ons or the exclusions. Also check the insured building sum against your square metres. Alternatively, upload the policy PDF to PolicyWallet: the AI analysis automatically flags a missing ENFIA-discount peril and an insufficient reconstruction sum.
Frequently asked questions
Does the ENFIA discount apply if the policy only covers fire?
No. Cumulative coverage of all three risks — earthquake, fire, and flood — is required. A fire-only policy does not qualify.
Do I need to apply for the ENFIA discount?
No, the process is automatic: your insurer submits the data to AADE. Just make sure the property's ATAK identifier appears correctly on the policy.
Is home insurance worth it just for the discount?
The discount lowers the effective cost of the policy, but the real value is the coverage itself: in Greece — a highly seismic country — only a small minority of homes are insured. The discount is the incentive, not the reason.
