GREECE: Gov’t boosting massive investment program and tax reductions from surplus revenues fighting tax evasion

As published on: hellenicnews.com, Friday 29 November, 2024.

The positive circumstances for the massive investment program funded by the Recovery Fund and NSRF, as well as from the significant rise in revenues due to the curtailment of tax evasion, create conditions to cover the investment gap in Greece and reduce tax burdens for taxpayers, the government’s financial team say.

Greece has a tremendous opportunity to establish its high growth rates in the coming years and restore unfairness in taxation policy that are grounded in the era of memorandums, they say.

Based on these new facts, the economic policy will focus on two overriding priorities:

a. Speedy absorption of Recovery Fund resources and funding of European programs through NSRF, along with the fast signing off of the projects, in order to contribute to the economy’s growth the soonest possible, and

b. Continuing the containment policy of tax evasion with measures such as digitizing transactions and with inspections by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE).
