As we wrote here, at skai.gr, the information so far speaks of budget of 2 billion euros.
As Christos Staikouras revealed speaking to ERT, only last week households and businesses contributed 3 billion euros to the Public Funds demonstrating adherence to their tax obligations.
It is known that :
Almost 50% of the income tax assessed so far has already been collected. Of the 2.26 billion euros secured from the clearance of tax returns filed, taxpayers have paid 1.045 billion euros by the deadline for the first installment, which ended on July 29.
Very good picture from him too LIGHT. Through the first 3 installments, more than 50% of the total tax has already flowed into the Public coffers. In comparison, 1.2 billion euros have been collected out of the 2.27 billion euros that have been confirmed.
“Icing on the cake” income from the refundable advance as approximately 2,490,000 VAT IDs, almost 1/3 of those who received the state aid, have already returned it with collections of 1 billion euros
Of course, the large increase in revenue also contributes to electronic transactions. In the first half they exceeded 30 billion euros and it is now almost certain that we are heading for a new record exceeding 53 billion euros in 2021.
At the same time the tourist season “scatters” smiles. In June, arrivals at the country’s airports exceeded those of 2019, which is a landmark year. According to the government representative, it is estimated that 15,000 people visit the Acropolis every day, while last week the number of tourists in Athens exceeded 1 million.
The final decisions on how the fiscal space will be used will be taken at the beginning of September and the announcements will be made by the Prime Minister at the TIF. It is a given that most of it will go towards subsidizing electricity bills for households and businesses. From there on the table remains the fuel pass 3, the third punctuality check, the increase in the heating allowance, while the announcements regarding the pensioners’ retrospectives and the possibility of a political decision that will also cover those who had not taken legal action are awaited with particular interest. .
