Independent Authority

The tax authorities are increasing the burden on owners choosing to rent out their property short-term.

The 300,000 citizens who have downloaded the appodixi application, which verifies the veracity of company receipts, are demonstrating their active participation in supporting the tax control system.

Incomes totaling around 1 billion euros were hidden by 1,048 taxpayers and businesses, but were revealed by the audits carried out last year by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE).

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) is establishing a special forces squad for tax and customs audits.

The new large prosecution unit will take over the control of smuggling and tax evasion, with tax and customs officers working directly together, with the assistance of the AADE business chamber.

One in five property owners will pay a reduced Single Property Tax (ENFIA) this year, while some of them will pay nothing. According to the statistics of Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), 7,159,164 taxpayers have at least one property, with their total value exceeding 770 million euros.

More than 1,000 enterprises risk high fines that reach up to 20,000 euros each, now, or even more in the future, for failing to comply with regulations on connecting card terminals (POS) with their cash registers.

The state could collect up to 1.2 billion euros if all those who dropped out of their tax debt arrangements apply for reintegration. For those who do apply, there will be a single monitoring authority.

After many decades of endless queues, frustration and bickering, the end of the tax office - at least as we know it - has come.

The main idea of the overhaul is to limit face-to-face transactions between tax officers and taxpayers unless necessary, with most procedures being conducted online.

The tax administration has issued instructions to the customs control mechanism on the measures and fines they must impose in cases of fuel smuggling, and mainly on the obligations that the companies trading petroleum products and the refineries now have in relation to the gas stations, with which they do business (due diligence measures).

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) is tracing the money trail for thousands of properties that were either bought in full with cash or part of the price was paid in cash. At the same time, the target is 2,500 real estate cases with a year-end statute of limitations.
