“Shall we have a bet? The interconnection of POS with cash registers will be completed rain or snow!” says Kostis Hatzidakis in a message on TikTok.

“After all, it is one of the main initiatives of the Government to deal with tax evasion” reminds the Minister of Finance.

“Every day now, thousands of messages are sent from AADE to those who are obliged to connect their systems. We cover a significant part of the costs from European funds. At the same time, we introduce strict penalties for those who are late. The progress of the project so far is significant, but it must to run even faster” notes.

“Besides the others, the project is included in the Recovery Fund as a milestone, which means that if it does not proceed, part of our country’s funding from Brussels will be cut off. It is something we cannot tolerate” underlines.

“So I call on all of you who need to connect your POS to your cash registers, to do so without delay. It is a modernization initiative, a social justice initiative!”

“It will rain and snow! You’re going to tell me now: “when does it rain and when does it snow in Greece, for anyone to take this seriously”… But…” Kostis Hatzidakis also jokingly declares in the backstage of the video.
