myDATA for tutoring centers: what changes day to day
myDATA is the Greek tax authority's (AADE) platform where invoice data is reported. For a tutoring center the question is not what it is, but how to issue and report without retyping every amount.
This guide covers where tutoring centers usually get stuck and what to ask software to do. It does not replace your accountant: exact obligations depend on your business form and status.
Where tutoring centers struggle
Tuition is often paid in instalments by different parents. If payments are logged in a sheet and invoices are issued elsewhere, every amount passes through a person twice.
At the start of the year many documents are issued at once. Without bulk issue and submission, secretary time goes to repetitive typing.
When the payment, the document, and the student's balance are not in one place, mismatches show up late, usually when a parent asks.
If tuition is still kept in a spreadsheet, see what breaks in Excel and paper ledgers.
What to ask a system to do
- Issue a receipt (ΑΠΥ) or invoice from the same system that holds your students
- Submit to AADE from the platform, not by re-entering data in a second tool
- Bulk issue and submission at the start of the year
- A tuition balance per student, with payment history
- A PDF receipt a parent can see or receive
- A clear answer on whether submission goes through a third-party provider or is built in

Frequently asked questions
What is myDATA?
It is AADE's digital platform where invoice and income data is submitted. How it applies to you depends on your business form, so ask your accountant.
Receipt or invoice?
A service receipt (ΑΠΥ) is normally issued to a private individual. An invoice is issued when the customer needs one, such as a company. Confirm with your accountant which applies.
Do I still need an accountant?
Yes. The software issues and submits documents and keeps balances, but it does not replace your accounting support.
Does submission go through a third-party provider?
In Paideus, submission happens from the same management system. When comparing software, ask explicitly whether myDATA is built in or goes through another provider.
