Another pre-election promise of ND is being implemented before the end of the government term. This is the reduction of ENFIA, which after yesterday’s announcements now averages 34%, exceeding the promise of a reduction of 30%.
The first reduction took place in the summer of 2019, shortly after the takeover of power by ND and was of the order of 22% to follow yesterday which was 13%. So individuals will be asked to pay 920 million less than ENFIA paid in 2018.
The significant changes included in the new plan in addition to the reduced rates are:
• the complete abolition of the additional tax for all properties worth up to 400,000 euros.
• the integration of the additional tax on the owner for real estate over 400,000, which in its vast majority is less than the one they paid last year.
• The new Tax will be cleared by the end of April and will be paid in 10 monthly installments.
Based on what became known yesterday, this year’s ENFIA account will be reduced for about 5 million taxpayers, which corresponds to about 80% of all property owners.
For 14%, ie for about 875,000 taxpayers, the Tax will have no differences and will remain at the same levels.
Additional tax will pay 6%, ie 375,000 property owners. Of these, half, ie 187,500, will have a charge of up to 50 euros.
Who benefits from the reduction of ENFIA
The reduction based on the examples given by the Ministry of Finance, despite the significant increase in fair values, the most profitable are the taxpayers with small and medium real estate, as well as those who own plots for which the tax calculation rates reduced by up to 80%.
The total value of the real estate owned by natural and legal persons, now amounts to 750 billion euros after the adjustment and expansion of fair values. The total tax that will be confirmed this year is estimated to amount to 2.233 billion euros from 2.587 billion euros confirmed for 2021. The total reduction amounts to 354 million compared to last year.
The financial staff estimates that due to the reduction of the tax and the increase of the number of installments, the tax collection will increase and will move over 81% that has been recorded since 2018.
It should be noted that the new scale will calculate the discounts in ENFIA for individuals. The first step of the 30% discount is expanded and will cover the property up to 100,000 euros instead of the 60,000 euros that is valid until today. For 733,000 individuals, the discount rate increases by 10%. Also, the discount for properties from 101,000 euros to 150,000 euros is increased from 20% to 25%.
Regarding tax exemptions, the 50% and 100% discounts are maintained at ENFIA for socially vulnerable groups. The calculation of the deductions will be based on the income of 2020 declared by the taxpayers in the tax return submitted in 2021.
