More than 1 million property owners will not pay this year LIGHT as can be seen from the AADE data, and this is because they either meet the minimum income and property criteria that have been established, or they live in an affected area (natural disasters). It should also be noted that compared to 2018, 171,703 fewer taxpayers pay ENFIA.

One more interesting fact emerges from her data AADEis the average ENFIA from 489 euros in 2018, it is set for 2023 at 368 euros, a decrease of 31%.

In fact, throughout this period under review, the total assets on the basis of which ENFIA is calculated, increased impressively and specifically reached 769.4 billion euros, compared to 600 billion euros in 2018.

It is noteworthy that the “champions” of the reduction in this period of time are Western Greece and Western Macedonia, while the “tail” is Attica, in which the participation in the total amount of the Tax exceeds 50%.

Let’s look in detail at the data resulting from the X-ray of ENFIA for 2023, in relation to 2018:

• Real estate in Greece is owned by 7.168 million owners. 1.009 million were excluded from the obligation to pay ENFIA.

According to the legislation, full ENFIA exemption is granted to those with three children, those with many children and persons with a disability of more than 80% as long as their annual income (real or assumed) is up to 12,000 euros, if it is the single person or up to 15,000 euros if they are married with 2 children). In this case, the total building surface must not exceed 150 square meters.

• The average tax resulting per VAT number is 368 euros for 2023while in 2018 it was 489 euros, i.e. a decrease of 31%.

• The greatest decrease in ENFIA occurs in Western Greece with the average tax being 234 euros, from 345 euros in 2018, a decrease of 32.1%. This is followed by Western Macedonia with a decrease of 31.8% and an average ENFIA of 210 euros from 308 euros in 2018.

• The highest Tax is paid in Attica with the average rising to 540 euros, from 671 euros in 2018, with the reduction limited to 20%. The Tax for the South Aegean is quite high as well, which amounts to 447 euros, from 609 euros five years ago, a decrease of 26.6%.

• In Attica the owners who make up 36% of the total, are asked to pay 53% of this year’s ENFIA.

• The average value of the properties in the territory it amounts to 124,923 euros.

In total, the ENFIA in 2023 is shown to be reduced by 34.3% compared to the ENFIA that natural persons were asked to pay in 2018. In particular, the ENFIA assessed to natural persons in 2018 was 2.642 billion euros, while this year it stood at 1.734 billion euros, i.e. a decrease of 908 million euros.
