According to the qualitative analysis found in the House of Representatives of the House Budget Office, from € 110.6 billion:

  • 60.6% (EUR 51.1) is tax debts
  • 29% are fines (24.4 billion euros)
  • 10.4% (€ 8.8) are non -tax debts such as loans, costs and charges

26.3 billion eurosthat is, about one quarter of the debt is considered unacceptable collection

If we add to them and the 49.3 billion euros of debts to KEAO – increased by 1.7 billion euros From last year – then total debts of natural persons and businesses to tax and insurance funds reach € 160m.

The analysis of the data shows that although the taxes on the tax office are increasing, debtors (natural and legal persons) are reduced. Their set is up to 3.84 million.90.256 less compared to last year. Debtors’ reduction is mainly observed in very small debt categories. Especially in debts up to € 500, debtors are about 116,473 less. For larger debts, the batches have increased compared to last year as shown in the table.

This small number of approximately 9,830 debtors (not even 2.5% of total) owed about 84.3 billion €that is, about 77.5% of the total debts to the tax office. Who even harnessed their debts by almost 2bn €

On the other hand, 90% of debtors gather in debts up to € 10,000, but their total overdue balance, 4 billion eurosjust exceeding 3.6% of total debts.

The debts of natural persons make up 38.5% of the total by touching the 42.5 billion euros While the debts of legal entities amount to € 68 billion corresponding to 61.5% of the total. And as one can suspect, the overwhelming majority of small debts up to € 10,000 (88%) comes from natural persons (the percentage rises to 97.9%for debts up to € 50) and the overwhelming majority of large debts above € 1 million (69.5%) comes from businesses.
