In its announcement, SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance refers to mockery recitals regarding the VAT.

“Where we thought we had heard everything from Mr. Schertsos about the VAT, Mr. Theoharis came to break all the counters. In his post he stated that the VAT burdens mainly the wealthy, because the market pass costs 600 million euros while the VAT on food is 2.8 billion and therefore the difference (2.8 billion – 600 million) is paid by the wealthy” says SYRIZA in its announcement.

“Where to catch it and where to leave it. Can’t they understand that for the lower and middle classes the burden of indirect taxes as a percentage of income is greater?

»Can’t they understand that when prices double and VAT remains constant, citizens pay twice as much VAT?

“They can’t understand why in 2022 the state collected more than 4 billion euros more than in 2021 from VAT?

“Obviously they can understand. But all they care about is defending with jokes their political choice to loot the social majority with indirect taxes in favor of the few and powerful” concludes SYRIZA.
