The countdown has begun for the revelations of the new ENFIA, which will bring, among other things, an average reduction of 3% to 4% for 2022.
According to the existing information, the new scale for the calculation of ENFIA is in the final stage of its formation and will be ready in the next period of time.
The main goal of the Ministry of Finance is to be ready by the end of January or the beginning of February at the latest, so that the final regulation will make its way to the Parliament within the next month.
According to what the Minister of Finance Christos Staikouras stated in a TV show on the Mega TV station, the expectation is that ENFIA will be reduced by 60 million euros in 2022. And he characteristically noted, and we change the coefficients. The goal is for the Greeks to pay an even lower tax in 2022 “.
Sources from the Ministry of Finance state that the exercise is proving to be a particularly difficult case. The competent services together with the working group that has been set up are trying to compose a very difficult puzzle, which will include the new objective values ​​of the real estate, the integration of the additional tax in the main tax and all the above to give a final result that will be in absolute numbers by 60 million less than last year and at the same time not to cause excessive burdens in those areas where there are significant increases in objective prices.
Whichever way you look at it, this exercise alone can not be described as easy and that is the main reason why there is a relative delay.
As they report, the new scale of the single real estate tax will have more scales and rates in order to prevent the burdens for those who own small and medium property after the jump of the new objective values ​​that took place in most parts of the country.
According to what has been repeatedly stated by the competent officials of the government and especially of the Ministry of Finance, the property owners in their vast majority will pay less ENFIA.
Those who are expected to pay more tax compared to 2021 are the owners of a property in an area where there is a very large increase in the price of the zone. The losers will be mainly the property owners in the zones that entered the objective system for the first time, as the price increases reach up to 250%.
Immediately after the completion of the process, with the voting and the issuance of the relevant ministerial decision, the Independent Public Revenue Authority will start the process to issue the new clearing notes.
The main aim of the government is to have boarded the taxis by the beginning of March and if possible the first installment to be paid at the end of the same month.
According to Finance Minister Christos Staikouras, the tax will be paid this year in 10 or 12 monthly installments. In AADE, adjustments are already being made to the electronic application of ENFIA in order to complete the issuance of the new liquidations as soon as possible.
As foreseen in the 2022 budget, the revenues from ENFIA of 2022 will be reduced by 60 million euros as well as will amount to 2.503 billion euros from 2.563 billion euros that are estimated to be collected for 2021.
The 60 million euros is an additional reduction in ENFIA which according to the minister is of the order of 3% -4% and comes to be added to the average reduction of 22% that took place in 2019 raising the total reduction to 25% while the government commitment remains for a total relief of 30% at ENFIA.
The integration of the additional tax in the scale of the main tax concerns only natural persons. For businesses the additional tax will still be levied separately from the main tax and there may be interventions in its calculation rate.
With the current provisions, for each legal entity or legal entity, the additional ENFIA is imposed and calculated on the value of the rights with a factor of 5.5 ‰. The additional ENFIA for the properties that are used for the production or the exercise of any kind of business activity, regardless of the object of work, is calculated with a factor of 1 ‰. Especially for the N.P.D.D. and the N.P.I.D. non-profit, the additional ENFIA is equal to 3.5 ‰ on the total value of the rights for the properties that do not use themselves.
For 2021, 68,542 companies and legal entities were asked to pay 216.182 million euros in principal tax and 278.014 million euros in additional tax for their properties with a total amount of 494.197 million euros. For the 7,180,009 natural persons, the ENFIA account of 2021 amounted to 2,093 billion euros, of which the additional tax imposed on owners with properties over 250,000 euros reaches 368.4 million euros.
Finally, it should be noted that the new ENFIA is expected to maintain the 50% and 100% reductions that still apply today for vulnerable social groups. The possibility of widening the property criteria after the activation of the new objective values ​​remains open.
