Thousands of homeowners will see huge reductions in property tax as the benefit of reducing ENFIA will even reach about 50%, as not only did the rates decrease, but the ladders also “fell”. On the occasion of interview with Prime Minister K. Mitsotakis, regarding the reduction of ENFIA, officials of the Ministry of Finance, specialized the reduction that will be and the benefit for the property owners, giving relevant examples.

This is due to a last-minute move where the government decided to reduce ENFIA by about 350 million euros, when the state budget voted at the end of last year records an ENFIA relief of only 70 million euros.
According to the Prime Minister, the reduction of ENFIA will be implemented within the next two months, because the liquidations will come earlier this year and means a substantial improvement of the disposable income for the vast majority of Greek households, primarily for the weakest.

This year, with the new reduction, he will pay 277 euros. It is a reduction of more than 200 euros per year. A 90-square-meter apartment in Korydallos paid 336 euros, this year it will pay 178 euros “.
He added: “Why did I refer specifically to these examples? To emphasize that the reduction of ENFIA is greater in the lower income strata. This, then, is a support to disposable income. As support for the disposable income were all the reductions of taxes and contributions that we made. It is something that is reflected in the increase of deposits. But that alone is not enough. That is why the government supported with a significant subsidy, the bills of electricity, gas, extended the heating allowance “.
