A retired doctor was found to “owe” 25,000 euros in employer contributions – How the EAD solved the mess

by

He was informed that he owed the contributions for the time he was the director of a Health Center in Crete from 1989 until the date of his retirement – According to his claims, he himself never had the status of an employer.

A retired NHS doctor was exempted from employer contributions of 25,000 euros, following the intervention of the National Transparency Authority (EAD).

He was informed by e-EFKA that he owed the contributions for the time he was the director of a Health Center in Crete from 1989 until the date of his retirement.

According to his claims, he himself never had the status of an employer, since he was a doctor of the National Health Service with full and exclusive employment.

Additionally, he stated that he had never been informed of this debt in the past.

A level of the independent authority investigated the case following a complaint, in September 2022. Following correspondence of the EAD auditors – inspectors with the Heraklion General Hospital of Crete “Venizelio-Pananeio” and the complained body (e-EFKA) it emerged that the alleged employer (Center of Health), owed the complained body the amount of 25,403.57 euros (main contribution and additional fees), for the period 04/2005-12/2006.

For this period of time, e-EFKA considered the complainant responsible for settling the insurance contributions, since as the director of a Health Center, he was registered as an accountant.

Upon the relevant request of the complainant and the EAD, the hospital in its response recognized it as responsible for the payment of the contributions of the Health Center.

This resulted in e-EFKA accepting the exemption of the insured person from the contributions while at the same time recognizing the hospital as liable to pay contributions.
