Specifically, the minister states – in his interview with the newspaper “Ta Nea” – that “by ministerial decision, probably next week, this measure will start with taxis, which will have to carry a special sign, in Greek and English, that they are obliged to accept payment by card if the customer so wishes. We start from sectors that concern the many and taxis are also related to our tourist product”. It is noted that failure to implement the measure by the debtors incurs a fine of 1,000 euros from the AADE or the General Consumer Secretariat.

At the same time, the minister states that the approval of the universal use of electronic invoicing is expected from the Commission.

About the tax statements, Mr. Hatzidakis announces that “from next year, the goal is for tax declarations to start in March and be completed in June. However, the competent bodies should have posted the necessary documents within the first two months, otherwise there will be heavy penalties for them.”
