GREECE ONLY – Greek Tax & Accounting Adviser for Marketplace / VAT / DAC7

Greek Tax & Accounting Advisor – Marketplace / Stripe Connect / VAT / DAC7

We are developing VANDALUX, a buyer-led luxury marketplace intended to operate initially across the EU, UK and US.

MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT — This engagement requires a tax/accounting professional legally qualified to provide tax/accounting services in Greece. In your proposal, please state your Greek professional qualification and the relevant professional body/registration (e.g. Economic Chamber of Greece / OEE), where applicable. Please do not bid if you are a developer, general international accountant, agency, or consultant who would need to subcontract the Greek tax advice.

We are looking for an experienced Greek tax/accounting professional with practical experience in e-commerce or marketplace businesses, cross-border VAT/OSS, DAC7 and payment-platform accounting.

Stripe Connect is currently the leading payment-platform candidate and is under evaluation. The intended architecture uses connected seller accounts, transaction-level data and automated reconciliation. We are not looking for manual accounting or VAT calculation on individual transactions.

We already have detailed business, transaction, payment and technical documentation. We are therefore not looking for the architecture to be created from scratch.

At this stage, the platform will undergo a non-transactional market validation: real buyer requests and seller interest will be tested, but there will be no sales, payments or payouts. The operating jurisdiction has not yet been finalised; Greece and Cyprus are currently under evaluation, with Greece now being actively assessed.

We currently need a limited preliminary review to identify only tax/accounting decisions that must be confirmed before the MVP architecture is finalised, particularly:

– intermediary/agent vs principal assumptions
– minimum VAT variables required by the system
– DAC7 seller/data requirements
– minimum accounting/transaction data requirements
– Stripe Connect accounting/payment-flow principles
– any material issue that could cause significant development rework later

Full VAT matrices, final invoicing/myDATA implementation and detailed settlement/reconciliation work can be completed after successful validation where appropriate.

Please provide:

Your proposed minimum scope for this preliminary review.
A fixed fee for this stage.
Your relevant experience with marketplaces/e-commerce, Stripe Connect or similar PSPs, VAT/OSS and DAC7.
An indicative budget range for the additional tax/accounting work that would be required between successful validation and commercial launch.

This is initially a one-off advisory engagement, with the possibility of further work if the project proceeds to commercial launch.

To be considered, please begin your proposal with “GREECE” and briefly state your professional qualification and current experience advising on Greek tax/accounting matters. Please also confirm whether you have practical experience with OSS, DAC7 and marketplace/e-commerce payment structures.

Proposals that do not state the applicant’s Greek professional qualification will not be considered.
