“Sudden death”, Theodoros Mallios, president of the Panhellenic Federation of Wage Stands, described the proposed provisions of the bill to limit tax evasion.

“In the way you defined us tax-wise, with the average VAT, you have also included the retail trade of erotic content, sex shop. Jokingly, with black humor, let me say that we will really need to match the sex shops, because if this continues and you don’t change it, we will need their sexual aids”, said Mr. Mallios. “It is not possible to tax us with 5% on a mixed basis, as in cigarettes, where our average is 4%, with mobile cards at 0.80%, with tickets at 3%. That is, we make 3% and you get 5% from us. “Is there a court, European or Greek, that will not accept such an appeal?”, said Mr. Mallios.

The president of the Panhellenic Federation of Hired Kiosk Operators also referred to the obligation to install POS at the kiosks.

As he noted, 80% of the turnover at the kiosks does not have tax avoidance, because it comes from the products of large tobacco companies or from large telecommunications companies.

“In the remaining 20%? Of course we admit that we evade taxes. We have to survive somehow. As for the fight, we pigeons, as you know, are exposed on the sidewalks and various other places where public works and so on are done. How do we prove this? So will you send us the rector – bogey?” said Mr. Mallios.
